Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we have ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones with us to talk about working from home in a summer legal job, which is a common scenario given the current pandemic.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Creating a functional work space at home
  • The importance of learning the technology required for your job
  • Setting expectations for availability and responsiveness
  • Asking clarifying questions and getting feedback
  • Tools for communicating in a virtual office environment
  • What kinds of online or in-person events might still be happening?
  • How to build relationships with other summer interns
  • Managing your work/life balance
