Well, this morning I had an exciting opportunity at my internship. First, a little background information: I have a letter signed by the dean of my law school that allows me to "practice law" under the direction of a supervising attorney. This is called "senior certification". All third year law students can attain "senior certification" by getting a signed letter from the dean of their law school. Anyway, now to the point: This morning, I interviewed some clients, asking them questions about whether or not they are paying child support, looking for jobs, currently have a job, etc. And I did this ALL BY MYSELF (look who's a big boy now!!!) Next, I negotiated with a prosecutor, with a supervising attorney. Then, I participated in a hearing with the district court referee (basically a judge). During the hearing, the only persons present were myself, my client, the judge, and the prosecutor. I must say that actually DOING STUFF is 10x more exciting than watching others do it. Needless to say, it was a very beneficial experience and I really enjoyed it.
Tomorrow I start my "job" as a law clerk at my law firm downtown. I am really, really excited!!!!
I would like to say thanks to our devoted readers and fans ;)
