For example, sorting out files and files and reading some legal opinions. After a long time, the lawyer will show you some simple small cases and discuss the handling methods. If the internship is long, you will be allowed to accompany him on the case.
I only worked as an intern in the law firm for a month, and I hardly had the opportunity to accompany my lawyer to handle the case, just sorting out the files. But don't underestimate this matter, because the file is a summary of all the information in the process of handling the case after the lawyer has handled the case. From it, we can see relevant evidence, lawyers' documents, court decisions and other things, which are very real and valuable. You can see the lawyer's thinking, the progress of the case and the types of court debates, which is very rare for people studying law.
Later, I discussed several small cases with lawyers, and the most impressive one was a case of negotiable instrument law. Because the negotiable instrument law is particularly professional, most students have a headache to learn, so when I first came into contact with this small case, it was very difficult and I didn't even know where to start. However, I consulted the relevant laws and regulations, conducted a detailed study, and finally wrote an opinion, which was highly praised by the lawyer who took me. I think this is an achievement and it really gives me exercise.
There are a lot of things to learn, depending on whether you can integrate them and think of every link together. You can't talk about things, but you should draw inferences from others. Of course, the premise of everything is that the legal provisions are familiar, such as civil law and commercial law, and they must be very familiar, so that they can be used.
Finally, I want to remind you that because the law firm involves the privacy of many clients, you must remember to keep it secret and don't tell irrelevant people about the case, which is very taboo for the law firm.
