Answer by ranger_co_1_75
Usually the internships go to someone studying law in college. Most big law offices have interns. They get minimum wage, no benefits, and a life time of experience from the legal staff.
While looking, don’t rule out the legal departments of large corporations in your area.

In a small to medium size law firm what percent of employees are paralegals?
Question by thirtythree_years: In a small to medium size law firm what percent of employees are paralegals?
I would basically like to know if there are more attorneys or support staff like paralegals, legal assistants, law clerks, etc. in a regular size law firm.
Thanks for helping!

Depending on the complexity of the cases, it’s one paralegal to two lawyers for corporate. One Paralegal to four lawyers if personal injury (med mal, product liability, auto, etc.).
Working for lawyers is weird. They’ll pile stuff on you and each one thinks his stuff is priority number one. And forget about thanks or more $ for a job well done. They think you should be happy with just a paycheck.
