You are right, I don't have any real experience with Lexisnexis or westlaw. And I appreciate your insight. I come from a family of businessmen so I have absolutely no idea what to expect from this. However, I was told I will be getting paid for my time at the firm. I just wish I could do something of substance to prove myself.Bluntly, if you are an undergraduate, you almost certainly cannot perform legal research and writing. It is really a different animal than the type of writing and research you perform during undergrad. My guess is that you likely have no training with Lexisnexis or Westlaw. A firm is not going to pay for your learning curve. I hope you can make a mean pot of coffee. I don't want to burst your bubble, but i really doubt the firm will delegate a case to you and ask you to research an issue and write a memo. May you could write a case summary, but i would not expect much beyond that.
