<p>Just curious!</p>
<p>In general, full time programs do, part time programs may not. It really depends on the school.</p>
<p>Yes, in general law students have summer break from May or June through August/September. Most people use this time to work in the legal field: for a judge or professor, a non-profit legal service provider, the government, or a law firm. Wages for these summer jobs can range from zero (interning for a judge, some nonprofits) to enough to pay for necessities (some nonprofits and government) to over $3000 a week (top law firms in big cities).</p>
<p>Yes full time ones do but it’s not much of a break. You NEED to intern at whatever kind of legal profession interests you because everyone else will be doing so, and if you don’t, you’re life is screwed, even if you’re president of the law review at Yale/Harvard LS. I have read horror stories online of people who graduated from presitiguous law schools as presidents of the review who were rejected from large firms for not doing an internship over the summer. </p>
<p>Of course, this could be fun for the fact that you get to see what it’s really like in the real world. But most of the time you’re just treated like dirt so whatever.</p>
