Do you intend to work at like, big law firms? I don’t know for sure, but most big law firms want legal interns or law clerks while they’re in law school, so not undergrads.

To be honest, everything in DC is insanely competitive especially for summer internships because people come to DC in the summer JUST to intern here. Maybe try applying for legal/non legal (but in legal setting) internships at non profits during the semester?

Honestly, I’m looking for anything that’s law-related at this point. I just want to get some experience and do something productive over the summer, maybe make some money too. I understand the competitive nature of DC internships, but it’s starting to feel like everyone has an internship at one place or another except for me:(

If your goal is to go to law school, you really don’t need anything on the resume at all tbh. Law school admissions are 95% LSAT + GPA. You can basically predict and track acceptances/waitlists/rejections based on those two data points alone. Hopefully your pre-law advisor has talked to you about this process.
