This may be a rookie question:
Many 1L summer internship applications require a reference list of 3 contacts. I’m going to include 1 from former boss (I worked with him in between undergrad and law school), 1 law professor, and 1 undergrad professor (my thesis advisor, my mentor from undergrad).
Would it be okay to write in an undergrad professor for reference list?

Re: Reference List for 1L summer internship
You should really find another law prof or law-related reference if you can. But it’s not likely to make any real difference - very few 1L jobs are going to contact references.

Re: Reference List for 1L summer internship
It's absolutely okay and borderline expected. Hell, I had 2 undergraduate professors and 1 law school professor and I don't think any of them were even contacted.
