Despite a very snowy start to March, warmer weather and sunny skies are just around the corner. And for law students, that means one thing: a summer internship. Opportunities for 1L and 2L summer are somewhat limitless—from law firm summer associate positions to in-house internships to nonprofit roles and more. Summer internships offer law students opportunities to explore various areas of the law and see what path will be the best for their careers.
