    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • We had a 3-day induction before the internship which was very helpful as it helps us learn more about the firm. We were then assigned to work in one practice area for 2 weeks and another practice area for 1 week. This allows us to gain insight into each practice. During the internship, I assist associates in researching legal issues, reviewing documents, taking meeting minutes and administrative tasks.
