Summer Intern

Undergraduate Internship Level

For undergraduate interns, a qualified candidate should be hardworking and diligent. Interns should be self-motivated and unafraid to ask questions, whether regarding the desire for more work, assistance on assignments/projects, or court experiences they would like to attend. Furthermore, a qualified candidate should be open to criticism and able to learn from his/her mistakes.

GLK undergraduate interns have two major roles: (1) assisting firm partners with records and files in cases and (2) requesting records from medical professionals, hospitals, or third-party institutions. The first role, directly working with firm partners, typically entails organizing case files and medical records, putting together binders for trial preparation, or conducting research on new cases. The second role, working with legal assistants and associate lawyers, requires undergraduate interns to complete and send out paperwork to request medical records, contact doctors/hospitals/third-parties to follow up on medical records requests, and communicate with clients to clarify the details of a case.
