(VIDEO) Unpacking legal internships with Isabelle Zakheim
What you need to know, from applying to your first day on the job.
2L Isabelle Zakheim (Loyola Law School and intern at Donaldson Callif Perez LLP) talks about landing internships, navigating the first weeks on the job, and managing a packed schedule as a full-time student.
She covers what actually works in cold outreach, how to get up to speed on a project when no one has time to brief you, building professional and personal trust with colleagues, and why the informal moments -- quick coffees, passing conversations, offhand feedback -- are where the real learning happens.
