Back to School: Interns Can Be Really Valuable for Law Firms

Law firms looking to hire traditional help are on the struggle bus right now.  It’s really hard to find good people now; and salaries are at an all-time high.  But, there are a number of alternatives for law firms seeking assistance, from AI to non-traditional employees or contractors. 

But, one place that law firms have traditionally been able to generate good work is through interns – by bringing on students from law schools, or from colleges or universities.  Now, there has to be an educational component for every internship; but, that doesn’t mean that interns can’t directly assist in your business.  They can do things like: engaging research projects, drafting publishable content (for which they can get full or partial authorship credit) and helping you to better understand and utilize technology. 

 

If you’re looking for help in your law firm, and struggling to find it, maybe it’s time to go back to school.  Reach out to the career development offices at your local colleges, universities and law schools + see if there’s a fit for your firm.
