This is just a tidbit about my law endeavors. I recently got some e-mails about one of the big firms in town needing a spanish interpreter, and that it would also be nice if the spanish interpreter were a law student and could help out with the immigration caseload. So I sent in an e-mail and a resume, and lo and behold they said come on in. So now I have an official (non-paying 🙁 ) internship with a big law firm. Williams Mullen is one of the three biggest law firms based out of Richmond, so they have this huge building and several levels of parking and they’re like this ridiculous corporation.
They gave me a parking pass, a building pass, and I even have an office with my name on the plaque outside the door. So even though it’s a non-paid internship, it will add to my resume and hopefully help me have greater prospects in the future. Pictures below:

Congratulations! So that’s three internships/jobs you’re currently working? I thought that unpaid internships were against the law since it violates the minimum wage. That it doesn’t apply to lawyers I suppose isn’t too surprising:-)
Congrats on the internship! Sorry it’s not paid but it’ll be good experience. That’s cool that you have your own office and name plaque and stuff. Good luck with it and it’s awesome you get to expand your Spanish!
