10 ways your summer law internship is a huge mistake

Here is all the evidence you need to realize your summer legal internship is not going to work out so well.

1. Mysterious Mentor: Your supervising attorney believes in “trial by combat” and keeps a suit of armor in the office.
2. Document Drama: Instead of legal briefs, you’re asked to draft letters to Hogwarts, pleading for an acceptance letter.
3. Courtroom Confusion: You’re told the most important court case is defending Goldilocks against the three bears.
4. Peculiar Payment: Instead of a paycheck, you’re compensated in “legal fairy dust” that’s supposed to help you pass the bar exam.
5. Odd Office: Your designated workspace is under a giant gavel, and you’re told it’s for “motivational purposes.”
6. Bizarre Binders: The law firm’s most referenced legal textbook is “Laws of Narnia: A Comprehensive Guide.”
7. Strange Strategy: Your boss insists that singing objections in court is the “future of litigation.”
8. Unusual Uniform: The dress code requires powdered wigs and robes, and it’s not for a historical reenactment.
9. Confusing Clients: Your primary client is a talking parrot who’s contesting a will.
10. Mystifying Meetings: Every team meeting starts with a game of “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” to determine who leads the discussion.
