February is the month during which most of the top law firms recruit for their summer internship programmes. Maynooth University Department of Law is very pleased to announce that representatives from several of the firms are taking time out of their schedules to visit us on campus next week and the following week.
Why Attend?
If you are considering applying for an internship with any of the firms, attending an information session gives you a flavour of the culture and practice type within that firm. You also have the opportunity to ask any clarification questions you may have regarding the application process. Most of the applications close the week after next, therefore, while next week may be a busy week for most of you, it is important that you take note of the times at which the talks are taking place and make the effort to attend.
Why a Summer Internship?
Summer internships afford you with an opportunity to work in a law firm, gaining invaluable insight into the daily workings of the legal system and into how a top law firm operates within that system. This also gives you the chance to reflect on your own career choices and can give renewed focus to your academic studies. As such, the Department is very keen for you to apply for some of these internships and encourages you to attend the firms’ presentations next week and the following week.
