Make the year of study match the dates
The sample runs from 2023 to an expected 2028 completion, making the candidate a fourth-year student in this example. Update the year label as the course progresses, and do not imply admission to legal practice from student experience.
Label drafts as supervised work
Research notes and first drafts can be substantial contributions. This example says an advocate or associate reviewed the work. It does not imply the intern independently advised a client or filed submissions.
Use a writing sample you may share
A moot memorial or approved academic note can demonstrate research without exposing client information. Do not invent a publication or share a client contract simply because it appears in your experience. Identify the type of sample and your contribution.
