    Don't be resentful of being assigned to a job that doesn't belong to you. We go to the law firm to learn work experience, and we should only feel anxious when we don't have a job, so even if it is someone else's work, as long as it is in our hands, it must be completed efficiently and with high quality. Build a good relationship with your lawyers.

    The reason why other people will ignore you is because they don't see any special strength in you, and they are not familiar with you, and sometimes they are embarrassed to call you something.

    Be proactive with all lawyers. In fact, every lawyer in the law firm is very busy and has no time to pay attention to a small intern, and the intern must actively find things to do by himself, and no one does not like active students. Actively respond to the work assigned by the law firm and complete it on time.

    Many students also have some college vices that think that the work can be done at the last minute, which often affects the lawyer's impression of you, and you need to complete the work as soon as possible after it is assigned.

    At the beginning of an internship in a law firm, you have to follow a partner, and helping that partner is similar to the work of an administrator. For example, organize files and files, and read some legal opinions. For a longer period of time, the lawyer will let you look at some simple small cases and discuss how to deal with them.

    If the internship is very long, you will be asked to accompany him to deal with the case. I had only been an intern at the law firm for a month, so I basically didn't have the opportunity to accompany the lawyer out to handle cases, just sorting out the files. But don't underestimate this matter, because the file is a summary of all the information in the process of handling the case after the lawyer has completed the case, from which you can see the relevant evidence, the lawyer's various documents, the court's judgment and other things, its authenticity and value are very high, you can see the lawyer's thinking, the process of the case, and the court debate process, which is very rare for people who study law.

    Later, I discussed several small cases with my lawyer, and the one that impressed me the most was a negotiable instrument law case. Because the law of negotiable instruments is very specialized, it is a headache for students to learn, so when I first came into contact with this small case, it was very tricky, and I didn't even know where to start, but I consulted the relevant laws, conducted detailed research, and finally wrote an opinion, and the lawyer who took me gave me a high evaluation, I think that is an achievement, and I really get exercise. There are a lot of things to learn, it depends on whether you can integrate them, think about each link in the connection, and not just talk about things, but draw inferences from one another.

    Of course, the premise of everything is that you are familiar with the legal provisions, such as civil law, commercial law, etc., you must be very familiar with it, so that you can use it.

    As an intern in a law firm, you can start with the following tasks: (1) assisting lawyers in drafting legal documents, organizing case files, and preparing copywriting; (2) Follow up the progress of the case (or project) and cooperate with the lawyer to maintain the client relationship; (3) Assist lawyers in inquiring about relevant laws, regulations and policy documents; (4) Respond to frequently asked questions from clients under the guidance of lawyers; (5) Complete other work assigned by the lawyer. Take the initiative to ask the lawyer if there are any errands or typing things to do, and actively do it.

    Second, help the lawyer sort out the file and carefully read the pleadings and judgments. Again, go to the nearby court to observe**, especially real estate, criminal, intermediate court intellectual property, etc., just observe an ID card, you can learn more than anything. Finally, ask other lawyers for advice on the problems encountered in the audit or reading of the file.

    It's good to be able to do these things first, and other lawyers will naturally trust you when they see your growth and hard work, and they will slowly grow up when they have small cases handed over to you.

    And most importantly: get your mindset right! Get your mindset right!! Get your mindset right!!

    Trainee solicitors need to understand that they are a blank slate, and you will not be able to help you except cause trouble for the supervising solicitor who will bring you. The instructing lawyer doesn't owe you anything, and if he is willing to take you, he is helping you. Knowing this, you should know what to do.

    The law firm I entered was also a big firm, the largest in our local area, but at the beginning it was really very idle to do, and after 4 months of coming in, I basically went to a lawyer to do the case by myself, and I had to sell myself to the lawyers in the firm every day, which was really tiring. The supervising lawyer only gave me a legal analysis case to do, and the rest basically relied on my own initiative to communicate with the lawyer. Just enter the big law firm remember not to spend time online, when you have time to talk to a lawyer, and have a good relationship with them, they will think of you when they have something to do, at present, it is growing at the rate of adding one case per month, one case in the first month, and now it has just finished three, everything depends on the initiative, but there are still many young people in the law firm who have nothing to do after a few months.

    The big firm can't take care of newcomers, as long as there is no major adjustment to the work, I hope to consider sticking to it and try my ability.

    Small institutes generally do not have the qualifications of internship bases, but you can learn things, there are many people in large institutes, and the leaders pay less attention to you, so it is recommended to listen more, watch more, learn more, start from the most basic learning, such as writing complaints, binding papers, and entertaining people who come to consult, even if they are not looking for you to consult, you can pour some water or something, and the diligent interns will help you.

    The internship period is also an assessment period. Communicate more with colleagues, be more diligent and take the initiative. A good employee does not wait for the boss to tell him to act, but takes the initiative to do it himself before he speaks.

    First, about the writing of different types of documents. It is often necessary to help the parties write complaints and applications (including applications for enforcement, litigation preservation, and application to the court to collect evidence, etc.), and they must not only be familiar with the format, but also be familiar with the laws and regulations on which they are based.

    Second, during the internship, you should carefully figure out each case that the instructing lawyer allows you to follow-up, and after the internship expires, an interview will be organized to assess whether you are qualified, and then select a part of the cases you follow up to the interviewer, and the interviewer will ask questions to the candidates according to the case. If you are not familiar with the case, the direct consequence is that you will not pass the interview.

    Third, write an internship log every day according to the prescribed requirements.

    Fourth, it is necessary to understand the legal knowledge involved in the case during the internship like casting a net, and only after accumulation can you know the case in your mind.

    Article 28 of the current "Lawyers Law" Lawyers may engage in the following businesses:

    1) Accepting the entrustment of a natural person, legal person, or other organization to serve as legal counsel;

    2) Accept the entrustment of the parties to civil or administrative cases, serve as the first person, and participate in litigation;

    3) Accept the retention of a criminal suspect or defendant in a criminal case, or accept the appointment of a legal aid institution in accordance with law, to serve as a defender, accept the entrustment of a private prosecutor in a private prosecution case, a victim of a public prosecution case, or their close relatives, to serve as a ** person, and participate in litigation;

    In fact, the internship in the law firm is to do everything, the first week is very busy, and the next two weeks are basically idle; At the beginning of each day, the intern asks the person next to him if there is anything you can do to help. What should you do today! These are all questions to ask.

    If you sit and don't take the initiative, no one will pay attention to you. The most important thing is to take the initiative and not be afraid of losses. If you sit there, maybe the people there won't know you're there until the end of the internship.

    Don't think that the lawyers are doing trivial things for you. But it's all important. If it weren't for these trivialities, maybe the company would be gone...

    Do everything that someone else gives you, even if it's printing, and you can save a little time by researching how to type. How to change ink for fax paper. These are the basic things in the office.

    And then there's the need to really have nothing to do for you to do. You're going to improve yourself! Since it is a law firm, it is necessary to take a look at the relevant case files that the company has done, and the research may come in handy later!

    Every day, you must read the case file carefully and write down your thoughts. Lessons can be learned. If you don't understand or have objections, write them down.

    Ask other senior lawyers. Of course, remember to be humble, polite, and don't ask aggressively. Self-motivated and polite people, hard-working and attentive people are all popular people.

    There is a lot of work to be done, after all, it is necessary to apply for an internship. Based on my personal experience, I think there are a few things that need to be done:

    First of all, it's about writing about different types of documents. Often help parties to write lawsuits, applications (including applications, applications, court applications for evidence collection, etc.), not only to be familiar with the format, but also to be familiar with laws and regulations, to do things with care, when you want to write at hand.

    Second, in the course of the internship, it is necessary to carefully find out every case that the lawyer will follow up. After the internship expires, the interviewer will organize the examination to pass. At this point, the interviewer will choose the interviewer from the interviewer's profile.

    The interviewer will ask questions to the candidates depending on the situation. If you are not familiar with the case, the immediate consequence is that you will not pass the interview.

    Thirdly, write daily internships according to the requirements.

    Fourth, during the internship, it is necessary to understand the relevant knowledge of the legal knowledge involved like the Internet. After accumulation, a case can be known.

    Fifth, after years of internship, many people still have little knowledge of the entire process of a court trial. Procedural law must be revisited to understand what each court does chronologically and what lawyers themselves should do. In this way, not only will you not be in a passive state, but you can buy more time and prepare more for all parties from all sides.

    Extended Materials. Internships can do a lot to see your specific situation. If it is a lawyer, it can help him prepare case materials, gather information, take notes, and so on.

    If it's inside, it probably does something everyday, like everyone says to do health, drink water, reception, legal advice.

    Generally, law firms welcome interns, but they usually welcome interns because the law firm is too busy, so be prepared to endure hardships for internships.

    Personally, I think the best way is to find an acquaintance (classmates and alumni) to introduce, which is the most important way for law firms to recruit.
