Statement of Purpose for Law Internship

As a hardworking and focused person, I have always believed that it is the ability of a person to keep learning and developing oneself through diverse experiences that makes him/her prepared for the challenges of the future. Regardless of the academic choice, we must always try to equip ourselves with insights and skills required to build a gratifying career. This understanding has always helped me in my academic performance and growth. Now that I have come to the end of my academic path and I have been trying to mold my professional skills, this aphorism has become even more relevant to me to grow even more skilled in my academic choice.  As I am getting into a field of profession that is riddled with fierce competition, it is particularly important for me to be prepared for these challenges. When I began learning about the industry, I realized that there are numerous opportunities for law professionals like me to undergo extensive law internship programs with established law firms and lawyers in order to fine-tune my skills and knowledge in the field. Such experiences will give me immense industry exposure and the platform needed to develop my professional skills sets even more. Hence, I decided to secure a law internship from ABC Associates.

When it comes to my academics, I have always been a responsible and inquisitive learner. I always tried to understand the nature of the concepts that I learnt while understanding its social and legal implications. This immensely helped me to look at various legal matters, laws, and arbitrations in a new light. In addition to being excellent during my academic escapades, I have also actively participated in various extracurricular activities and events. These have given me plenty of opportunities to work towards common goals with teams of different people having different understanding. 

When I began thinking about my future prospects after my academics, I understood that the competition in the field is extremely high and one needs to be exceptionally skilled to create an identity and brand for oneself in the industry. I have learnt that the most important aspect of building a suitable and rewarding career is to have matchless exposure to the industry. Developing insights from the same which can be used to further fine-tune one’s skill sets and knowledge in the field. Therefore, I knew, before getting into a job, working under experienced and established law firms would give me the opportunity to have hands-on learning experiences all the while having mentors to support my growth and development. As an internship would give me plenty of opportunities to work with established lawyers and on various legal matters with the oversight of experienced professionals, I realized that an internship would be the most sensible and value-adding step that I can take now for my career.

I made my decision to apply for the internship from the ABC Associates because of the reputation that the firm holds in the field. I carried out extensive research to learn about the firm and it has helped me understand that it manages various arbitrations and offers legal advice to various established businesses in the field. I was confident that it could give me immense opportunities that I have been expecting to leverage to grow in my career. All these reasons encouraged me to choose to carry out my internship from ABC Associates.

I am extremely confident that the internship experiences at the firm would mold me to be a skilled and insightful law professional as required by the industry. I consider the opportunity to become a part of your firm a privilege that I will always strive to honor by working hard persistently. I am extremely excited to become a part of your firm where I will be able to grow under the tutelage of some of the most experienced and knowledgeable law professionals.
