Pine Tree Legal Assistance

Family Unit Intern

June - August 2021 • Augusta, ME

What I liked

This was a great hands-on experience with clients that gave me perspective on day-to-day life working in legal aid. There was also both opportunities for independent and group work.

What I wish was different

Everything about the content of the internship was great. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Advice

As an undergraduate student in this type of internship I needed to ask a lot more questions than the other law student interns. I was slightly intimidated by my lack of formal legal education at first. However, my supervisors were more than accommodating, so I would highly recommend asking questions to help your understanding of the whole process in general.
