Policy internship 1L?
Posted: Wed Feb 22, 2012 5:50 pm
General consensus on here is that any legal work will do for 1L summer. I'm curious whether a more policy-geared internship falls into that too. I've had a few interviews with some non-profits that would entail researching certain laws, codes, their effects, etc, but wouldn't deal with litigation. I'd prefer something else, but at this stage in the game I'm not sure if I should take one of these if I get an offer or hold out. Would these not be direct enough as far as legal experience? Would it hurt next summer at 2L OCI? Would it make a difference if they're in DC and I want to work biglaw or government in DC eventually?
