What to put for description for judicial internship on resum Forum

[Anonymous User]

rising 2l just started my judicial internship this week.. about to update my resume for the semjf job fair having trouble on what to put for my job descrption on my resume...as its only my first week the only thing ive done so far is sit in on oral arguments and then the deliberations and I'm in the process of writing my first memo/analysis of a case

I would ask my carreer planning office but they take too long to reply to emails and generally aren't that helpful
any advice?

Hm.

Honestly, I deleted the description for my judicial internship. No idea if that's the right move, but I think it's typically very similar stuff across judicial internships (and even clerkships) that a description isn't really necessary.

Still, if you wanted to include something, it'd probably just be like "conducted legal research; drafted legal memoranda; observed court proceedings" and add as much (or as little) detail as you feel like.

Some law schools have sample resumes for 1Ls, 2Ls, etc. I would take a look for some language there. Example: http://www.law.harvard.edu/current/care ... sumes.html

Oh, and as a tip while interning for a judge and writing resumes: make sure to double-check your sentences (e.g., your thread title) for typos.

thanks for the link that should be very helpful...and haha I just noticed the typo
