"When I think about my internship in DC, one word comes to my mind: lucky.
I am a first year law student in London and had never had a working experience before.
I was paired with a criminal defense attorney who was simply brilliant. He was kind to me and was open to answer to each and every one of my questions. He believed I was dependable and trusted my work and instinct. I was given more challenging tasks as the days went by and even got to interview a client myself on the spot, with no preparation beforehand."

"I worked with a committee chairman in the Senate which, compared to the House, will give you fewer hands-on experiences. But you do get the chance to be a fly on the wall for some very high level conversations with the administration and important Capitol Hill decision makers. However, I did spend a lot of time giving tours to high school groups from our state. And I spent a lot of time sorting mail. Some of the people I knew on the House side spent a lot of time writing speeches for their members and drafting letters in response to constituents. I did both of those things, but only for one speech and three letters."
