<p>First of all, let me post that I understand that internships and EC's do not factor significantly into your law school admissions and that it is primarily based on your LSAT and GPA. Yes, I understand that. However, I would still like to get some work experience in the field of law just to see if I like the field. Think about it as an internship for self knowledge.</p>
<p>Anyways, I've been "working" for an attorney (nonpaid) for this summer. The thing that makes it different from other internships is that I don't actually go to her office everyday. As a matter of fact, if I do go to her office, it's mainly to drop off assignments or for briefings.</p>
<p>Most of my work is emailed to me and the works include: writing IRAC memos where I apply and analyze the issues and case laws, reading and summarizing articles, filing complaints, and drafting demand letters.</p>
<p>For one, would you even consider it an internship since I mainly work at home? And if it is, do you think it's a good work experience to allow me to see if I really want to be a lawyer? Yes, it does sound like paralegal work, but when you think about it, a lawyer IS a paralegal with the power and authority to give legal advice and represent someone in court.</p>
