Forensic Shadow Reports during Internship

I applied to all forensic internships and am struggling with my rankings. One site that I really love trains you in forensic evaluation and has you write full reports for competency to stand trial and NGRI cases, however they are shadow reports and do not go to the courts. My goal is to be a forensic evaluator and I am not sure how this would impact my future and ability to land a formal post doc in forensics. Any thoughts on whether it matters if your eval experience was shadow or not?
