i found a legal internship posting for 1L summer and above at a fairly popular company. should i wait until the semester starts to apply since i won't have any activities/proof that i would be completing my 1L year by next summer yet, or should i apply now with just the school name on my resume so the position doesn't fill up?
damn we already applying for 1L jobs
16:51
this company is notorious for opening their applications early lol
16:51
i know for a fact they dont start interviewing until sept/oct but it is a very popular company so im not sure timeline wise if i should wait to have something of legal related substance or just apply now to be ahead
thats a good question but i dont know the answer

16:56

Our firm literally just hired our 1L Summer clerk 3 weeks ago :,D

@c0bra1: I don't know how it works either but I'd assume the worst they can do is tell you you don't have anything yet and if you apply again it'll make it seem like you're actually really interested?
