<p>I am a high school student looking for an internship at a law-firm or a legal workplace. I called some law-firms and they told me to "send in" my resume - I was wondering if it is advisable to walk-in to the office and hand in my resume, or if it is better to mail it in. I was thinking if I actually show up at their office, that shows determination. Then again, it could seem a little annoying, I guess. </p>
<p>Also, what is the general dress code for high school interns at a local law-firm? The whole 9? or would a buttoned shirt and slacks be OK?</p>
<p>If its far away, just snail mail it along with a cover letter. Law firms is semi casual to full business. Check with the individual firm.</p>
<p>Just send it in. All you’re likely to get for your hand delivery is an awkward look from a receptionist. As the other poster said, attire ranges from jeans and polos to shirt and tie depending on the firm, the day of the week, and the type of law they practice.</p>
<p>What should I include in a cover letter - also, what if the law firm is like 3 minutes away from my house? Should I still send it in via mail??</p>
<p>I would. Google how to write a cover letter.</p>
