[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you all for comments.

To clarify: she is a German citizen at a German law school and she would accept an unpaid internship.  She realizes German and U.S. law are different - i believe it is part of the curriculum that they encourage students to study outside the country to get broader perspective.. She is looking at the DC metro area only.

I am unfamiliar with the summer associate/hiring practices. Is there a difference between being a summer associate and other type of "internship"? Does anyone know if these are listed/advertised anywhere, i.e. is there a job search/internship search web site where opportunities would be advertised (that would be appropriate for law students)?

Would it be worthwhile to put together a letter/resume/recommendation and approach department heads (and/or are there other people/positions within a firm more likely to take notice?) of various firms? I should note she attends a top law school (University of Heidelberg) and speaks fluent English and Spanish in addition to native German.

Thank you again for the help![/quote]
