For those na nakapag legal internship with pay na (whether in a government office or private law firm), may I ask magkano po natanggap niyong allowance? Just wondering cause I’ll try to save what I’ll earn from my legal internship soon to add to my school fees next semester.

I got accepted for a legal internship I applied for and will start my working hours soon. Don’t have any experience at all being an intern in a law firm, so I’m wondering about the kinds of work I’ll be doing and the tasks I should expect.

Any tips on how I can perform my job well and leave a good impression on firm staff and lawyers I’ll be assisting and working with? I’m considering applying for a job there too after my internship ends, maybe as a paralegal or an admin assistant while I’m still in law school if they ever allow it, so I really want to do my job well.

Thanks in advance. :)

I know you’re there to learn rather than make huge contributions because after all, you’re just an intern for a couple of weeks or months. But I can’t help but feel nervous. I’ll be having my very first legal internship in a private law firm and I don’t know what to expect.

Honestly din, yung pinasukan kong firm ay specializing in law areas na hindi ako magaling kaya doon mas nanggagaling kaba ko. But I still applied kasi gusto ko rin ma-challenge sarili ko.

Any tips for those who’ve had internships before? Just don’t wanna embarrass myself once I start the work.

To start with, I am not asking for any legal advice. I’m simply curious because, as a law student, I hopefully want to learn as well from our practicing attorneys here how to deal with more of these situations in the future.

When someone personally asks you a legal question on the spot and you are unsure whether what you’ll say/advise to them is legally correct (for reasons like no or less experience handling legal matters in those areas or it’s a completely different area of law you’re specializing in), how would you answer in a way that the person asking wouldn’t think you are plain clueless or incompetent?

I came to ask because my immediately family, relatives, friends, and even neighbours all seem to expect that I can just competently answer every single legal question they try to ask me just because they know I am studying law.

Of course, I am not a god. As much as I want to achieve perfection in the knowledge of law, I believe there is simply no way on earth that there can exist a lawyer out there who can perfectly answer every single legal question they get asked on various areas of law, right then and there, with just a split second time to respond.

But I don’t want to sound like I’m completely clueless, especially once I’ve become a lawyer. I want to learn how to approach these situations and know the right words to say so that I don’t come off as incompetent.

I need advice on checking sodium content and other things I should look out for in buying cat food (dry and wet). What percentage or amount of sodium is allowable/won’t harm my cats?

Kindly recommend brands as well. Royal canin is not viable for me right now as I can’t regularly afford it. So far the kibbles I buy are Smart Heart (recommended by our vet before) and Goodest (personal choice because my cats liked it + they’re advertised as having low sodium but idk if that’s true). Thanks.
