1L Cover Letter: Quick Question

Post by BarCliff » Mon Dec 20, 2010 11:23 am

Am I applying for a summer "internship" or "a position as a summer associate?"

The two are the same thing, right? Keep in mind this is for a 1L cover letter, applying to private firms.

Thanks!

You should say summer associate or what ever official title they give.

The two are not the same. Summer Associate is a subcategory of Interns, which can include law clerks, etc.
