<p>If you can, then I think you should try to get an internship at a law firm. It might be a bit difficult, but definitely ask around if you know anyone or have any connections. A real experience like that will not only look really good on your college app, but it will also help you. This past summer I interned a biomedical research company and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I not only learned so much, but I met so many great people and got a taste of what it would be like working in that field. Plus, I got paid ;)</p>
