How to get into trial litigation/courtroom work

Hello! I’m starting as a 1L at Penn Carey this fall and I’m interested in going into trial work/litigation—specifically cases that actually go to jury trial. This might be a dumb question, but I’m trying to figure out what I should be aiming for during law school. What kinds of opportunities (classes, clinics, internships, summer jobs, etc.) should I be looking for to set myself up for that path?
