Unpaid Summer Internships
6:53 pm

I’m going to just say no.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a lawyer. I won’t even be 1/3 of a lawyer by the time summer rolls around. But I’m not going to work for free for anyone who is making money. I’ll consider doing nonprofit charity work. I can understand that some of the public interest jobs are uncompensated.

But law firms make money. Companies make money. If I’m going to be giving them some time, I’m going to need some compensation. Even the students in my class who didn’t quit $70k/year jobs in order to go to law school have at least an undergraduate degree, and can provide at least some useful function.
