Daniel can you come in please

I've been in the law internship with ___ & Co for 5 weeks.

I've been doing research, preparing court forms and pleadings, drafting affidavits, writing letters and compiling documents to make a case, and spending lots of time reading case files and authorities. It's been highly stimulating mentally, and rewarding. Though I'm paid at a rate of $2.33/hr, I'm thankful that I have this opportunity, to really get good exposure and experience. Very very few interns get this. In fact, all the friends I've known who also did law internships didn't get as much exposure as I did.

Other interns are usually engaged in photocopying, filing, going to court to sit-in for long hours of trials and basically taking on spectator jobs.

So after 25 days of work at ____ & Co, today was an exceptional landmark in my internship. Today I can consider myself a complete law intern. Here's why.

I did binding of bundles and bundles of affidavits. I photocopied 400 pages' worth of pleadings and AEICs. I marked them with dividers and stamped page numbers. I stacked them neatly and prepared them for filing in court and service to other parties. I spent an hour uploading photos on Facebook. And the very biggest accomplishment: I sustained my first papercut. I AM A FULL FLEDGED LAW INTERN!

Time to turn back and sue ___ &Co for their vicarious liability of my inter-digit laceration as it was sustained in the course of employment. Plus costs.
