What did you like best about your internship/co-op? What type of work were you doing?

Most of my work revolved around legal research and writing, which is very helpful experience to get for a lawyer. There's also a decent variety of projects to work on and different people to work with, which is nice.

What did you like least about your internship/co-op?

Could be more formal, especially when it comes to assigning work. I like the atmosphere and general flexibility when it comes to working hours, but could get more done with my time if assignments were more formally assigned.

Fairly quiet office, partly because a good portion of people work from home on the days I went into the office and people generally being busy perhaps.
