During UG, I have had no internships (that might change this week), I have had menial jobs and have been somewhat involved in school - not many leadership positions.
Am I screwed to get 1L internships? How much will a senior internship help? Summer internship?

Re: 0L Resume for 1L Summer Positions
Don't worry, I doubt having no undergrad work experience will hurt you. Obtaining an internship for your 1L summer will be based on your performance in your first semester of law school. Also, networking is extremely important. Take advantage of winter break after your first year and have lunch or coffee with attorneys here and there. Keep in mind though, not many 1Ls get positions at law firms, so a great alternative would be obtaining a judicial externship. Go meet a few clerks and get to know them, they do all the hiring.
