Sidley Austin LLP

Intern

January - May 2015 • Washington, DC

What I liked

The work was interesting and relevant to a lot of what I was studying in regards to international law/trade. As I was considering going into law in the future, it was also beneficial for me to see how a DC law firm office works from the inside.

What I wish was different

The internship was somewhat unstructured, and I had little interaction with the office apart from my supervisor.

Advice

Learning what doesn't work for you is as helpful as learning what does. This was a great experience for me, and Sidley is a great firm. But it also helped me to see that a law firm wasn't where I saw myself down the road, which was extremely helpful.
