Internship
If you are interning with a law firm, you should probably discuss:
Whether the firm deals with civil or criminal cases, or both.
Whether the firm represents clients in federal, state, or county court.
Areas of expertise or specialization, such as family law, business law, arbitration, tax law, immigration law, environmental law, disability law, or some other field.
The role of the lawyers in your office. For example, do they only handle cases that are going to court? How often do they settle out of court? Do they give legal advice to people and firms to help them remain law abiding? Some other role?

The office staff. What are their roles?
The importance of legal research. What is it? Why is it important? How does one conduct legal research? How is legal research different than academic research?
This is just some of the information you could include in your paper, but there may be many other important pieces of information to include depending on the nature of your agency.
Use your own judgment about what to include, but be sure it is relevant to the function, structure, and mission of the agency.
