Hi there,
I am a student at Coventry University studying law.
An internship with a public policy professor can be very useful in the law application. It can be quite daunting, completing an unpaid internship, however these experiences will pay off. I know a student who studied law and wanted to involve herself in international human rights law, which meant completing a lot of unpaid volunteering work, however it was all worth it. Now they work for the European Commission.
Tip for your application: briefly explain what you did in the internship but definitely point out what you learnt from it and what skills you gained from the internship, and how this is useful in the future when you decide to work in the law field.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Narusha
