Is there anyone hiring law clerks or interns? I am a rising 3L. I’m concerned that having nothing on my resume for this summer will hurt my job prospects after school. My fall back plan is to take more summer courses and work on a campaign, but that won’t allow me to gain anymore legal work experience.

Consider reaching out to small firms and nonprofit legal organizations and offering to intern part time without pay. Good luck. This is a tough time to be entering the profession, although you should be grateful not to be graduating this year.

I echo what was Trial Lawyer 1 said. There are plenty of opportunities to get experience, but some of it may be unpaid. However, when I’ve made hiring decisions for new/young associates in the past when the market tanked (circa 2010), I always gave preference to folks who found a way to get experience (e.g., volunteer lawyer with a non-profit). While the experience may not have been entirely relevant to the position we were interviewing them for, the fact that they were obviously motivated and driven spoke volumes.

Good luck!
