Anyone have any general thoughts on state court internships, particularly for intermediate courts? Are they generally an acceptable 1L summer gig for someone wanting to do biglaw lit? I never hear anyone talk about state trial/appellate court internships IRL or on TLS.
It looks like I'm close to exhausting my chances for a paid gig this summer, and I've got an option to do this in my home region where I can live for free. Appreciate any thoughts!

OK. Thanks dudes.
Related: in the off chance I do end up getting a paid offer, I assume reneging on a flyover state intermediate court judge is less of a big deal?
