Growth of Unpaid Internships May be Illegal
In the old days, most unpaid internships were offered by nonprofits, but apparently times have changed...but then again, times are hard and the experience and contacts gained through an unpaid internship might be invaluable.
My advice--negotiate with your employer for academic credit or split your summer between a paying job and the unpaid internship (something that many law students do during their summers). Whatever you do, remember the purpose of the internship is exposure to your field of interest, so don't allow yourself to be exploited.
