Tips for Your Legal Intern Job Search
Tailor your resume for legal writing
Hiring partners look for writing samples and research skills above almost everything else. Highlight moot court briefs, law review notes, or clinic work prominently, and list any legal databases you've used, such as Westlaw or LexisNexis, by name.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists legal intern openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target firms by your practice area interest
Large firms often hire interns for specific practice groups, not general pools. Filter your search by the area you want, whether litigation, M&A, or IP, so your cover letter can speak directly to the work that group actually does.
Prepare a polished writing sample in advance
Most legal intern applications require a five to ten page writing sample. Choose a memo, brief, or note that shows legal analysis, not just research, and edit it down to its sharpest version before you start sending applications.
Research the interviewer's recent cases or deals
Before a callback interview, look up recent matters the attorney or firm has handled through public court dockets or press releases. Referencing a specific case or transaction shows genuine interest and prepares you for substantive conversation.
Follow up after an interview with a specific note
A thank-you email sent within 24 hours that references a specific topic from your interview, not just generic gratitude, keeps you memorable. Mention one point of the conversation and connect it briefly to why you want the role.
Legal Intern Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most legal interns?
The most active employers for legal interns right now are Kemper, International Rescue Committee, and Sony Pictures Entertainment, and the most openings are in New York, California, and Colorado, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Openings shift frequently, so checking current listings gives you the most accurate picture.
How many legal intern jobs are remote?
About 57% of legal intern openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, though availability varies widely by employer type. Corporate legal departments and compliance-focused roles tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while litigation and court-facing positions almost always require in-person attendance.
How do you become a legal intern?
Enroll in an ABA-accredited law school, since most employers require at least one completed year of coursework before hiring interns. Build a writing sample from clinic work, moot court, or a law review note. Then apply directly to openings at law firms, corporate legal departments, government agencies, or public interest organizations that match your practice area interest.
Can you get a legal intern job with little or no legal experience?
Yes, especially at nonprofits, government agencies, and smaller firms that value academic performance and writing ability over prior legal work history. Strong grades, a well-edited writing sample, and any undergraduate research or policy work can offset a thin resume. Clinic enrollment during your first year is one of the fastest ways to add relevant experience before your first application cycle.
What does the legal intern interview process look like?
Most legal intern interviews start with a screening call or on-campus interview focused on your background and interest in the practice area. Callbacks at larger firms typically involve meetings with multiple attorneys and may include a hypothetical legal question or discussion of your writing sample. Government and public interest employers often use a single-round interview with a panel of attorneys or program coordinators.
Where can I find and apply to legal intern jobs?
You can find and apply to legal intern jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your practice area interest and law school year, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background.
