Pros
You get a lot of hands-on experience as a legal intern. You are basically doing the work as a paralegal as an intern, which can be very rewarding as you get to work directly on client cases. Overall I was able to gain very useful experience while having great supervisors. I would recommend this internship position for someone who is considering doing legal immigration work or for someone seriously interested in attending law school. The hours and work can be tough but it is very rewarding.
Cons
My internship was virtual, so sometimes it was hard to get in touch with supervisors about questions. Other than that, you are an intern at a legal firm so you should expect to work long hours so that was not surprising for me.
