At King Law, our internship program is more than just a summer job—it’s an opportunity to gain real experience, contribute to meaningful work, and learn what it means to serve clients with compassion, excellence, and integrity.
We believe the best interns bring more than just strong academic credentials. Here are a few key qualities we look for—and how you can stand out:
🔹 Curiosity and Eagerness to Learn
We value law students who ask thoughtful questions, seek feedback, and take initiative to understand not just what we do, but why we do it. Whether it’s diving into a new legal topic, observing client interactions, or learning firm processes, curiosity shows us you’re invested. A willingness to grow and adapt is one of the strongest indicators of future success in the legal profession. The legal field is constantly evolving—those who stay curious are the ones who will stay relevant.
🔹 Strong Work Ethic
Our interns are treated as professionals from day one. That means being dependable, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile. Showing up prepared, meeting deadlines, and staying engaged—whether you’re drafting a memo, making a court run, or attending a team meeting—demonstrates your commitment and builds trust with the attorneys and staff who mentor you. We don’t expect perfection—we expect effort, persistence, and a readiness to grow from every experience.
🔹 Professionalism and Respect
The practice of law demands a high level of integrity and respect. We look for interns who conduct themselves with professionalism in every setting—whether interacting with a judge’s assistant, taking direction from a case manager, or observing client consultations. These moments may seem small, but they reflect how you’ll show up as a future attorney. Respect for others—regardless of title or experience—builds the foundation for strong, lasting professional relationships.
🔹 Team-Oriented Attitude
We believe in the power of collaboration. Interns who are open to learning from everyone—paralegals, attorneys, fellow interns—and who contribute with a positive, can-do attitude help maintain the supportive, team-first environment we work hard to cultivate. Being willing to lend a hand, ask for help, and share credit goes a long way. At King Law, success is shared, and we thrive when we lift each other up.
🔹 Authenticity
Above all, be yourself. We value interns who are genuine and honest about who they are and where they want to grow. We recognize that every law student brings a different journey and perspective. Your ability to connect with people, communicate clearly, and stay true to your values is what will set you apart. Don’t be afraid to bring your personality into your work—authenticity fosters trust, and trust is the cornerstone of client relationships and team dynamics.
Our goal is to help you become a well-rounded legal professional—one who’s confident, capable, and compassionate. The interns who thrive here are those who treat every assignment as a learning opportunity, every interaction as a chance to grow, and every day as a step toward their future.
If that sounds like you, we can’t wait to meet you.
