You won’t be doing constitutional work or work with the Supreme Court. There are extremely few jobs available in those fields and they’re all filled by connected Yalies with prestigious federal clerkships. If other parts of the law interest you, I would recommend interning somewhere and getting some hands-on experience. If you’re interested in Public Interest work, I’m sure Legal Aid can always use a helper over the summer. Local Public Defender/District Attorney offices also commonly have interns. If the practice of law interests you, come back and we can go from there.
