Personal Narrative: A Career As A City Attorney

This experience with the Shiawassee County Prosecutors Office has been so incredible. I have learned so much from this experience which has lead me to ask the Prosecutor if I can stay longer. I enjoy the way the people work together in the office, the new cases every day, and the lessons I learn both about life and the criminal justice field. I thought before this internship that I knew I wanted to be a prosecuting attorney, but I now know even more now that this job is for me and something I can see myself doing after graduation.

I specifically chose this internship experience because previously, I held internships at Flood Law, a defense law firm, and the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office and I figured this internship is a progression. I was definitely interested in exploring the different areas in law to figure out what it is that I wanted and did not want to do and this internship, by far has helped me do that. This internship experience has shaped my career ambitions, as I will further go into detail during the duration of this paper, by allowing me to be exposed to the different areas of law, which then made me decide on what I found to be interested in and areas I did not so much

Throughout my undergraduate career at the University of South Carolina, I continually found myself drawn to internship opportunities

I have written formal bail reports from a handwritten report, filled out forms for illegal immigrants, open files into their program (PACTS) and follow up with defendant’s third party custodian to check if they have any problems or changes to report to the court. I have also learned that I am afraid of public speaking. I believe this internship will help me overcome it before it is over. To be in a Law Enforcement position, we have to have confidence and good oral skills to communicate with others. I definitely recommend this internship for Criminal Justice students who are interested to learn about the federal system and would like to get good connection for the future. I have expressed my interest to continue working with them after the internship is over. I believe students should know more about the Pretrial Services, and what it

As the internship program and the training intended, I have learned much related to my major, Criminal Justice. This internship helped me to acknowledge that qualified, knowledgeable professionals are needed by our complex society to define, administer, and put our rules and standards into force. Like jobs in any other field, to work in the field of law requires expertise. Trained experts are the most desirable to be hired by organizations, tasked to manage justice, to direct their operations. By writing articles for the legal website, I learned to assess law enforcement situations orderly. I learned to make use of the basic legal and management theories to analyze the situations. I got the opportunity to show my understanding of the key process in the U.S. criminal justice system. I also learned to combine approaches from management, law, and the behavioral science to apply them to the situations I was studying.

My internship is at the Richland County Public Defender’s Office and I work directly with two juvenile defense attorneys. My office is at the Richland County Judicial Center. This position is very new and I am the second person to have this internship at USC, so defining my position is very complex. I do not have an on-site social work supervisor to turn to when I have questions, so, I have to figure out a lot of things on my own. Being that I work directly with the attorneys, a lot of things I see on the daily are on the legal side and not the social worker side per se. However, the attorneys involve me in the entire process when working with each client to provide a social work perspective to better help the clients and increase the quality of their services.

Earning a law degree, coupled with my passion for serving others, I will be able to fulfill my deepest desire of serving those whose voices are not heard. I plan to use my law degree to create policy in favor of those that are underprivileged. My concerns for the poor will find new practical forms of expression as I learn jurisprudence; furthermore, I intend to shape my legal education with the firm commitment that I will not allow my thoughts and objections to go unheard. If accepted, I expect that the greatest intellectual leap of my life awaits me at [Insert Law School here]. Given the education and opportunities provided by [LAW SCHOOL NAME HERE], I intend that my resolutions are not ones that will pass with the day, but determinations which are rooted in a lifetime of

I want to run for Mayor within the State of Illinois one day. This Legislative staff experience will give me the hands-on experience that is vital to my career. This internship give me the opportunity to surround myself around people who have been in my shoes, and can give real feedback on the issues and policies that they encounter on the daily basis. After I receive my masters this semester, I wanted an opportunity to be exposed to the work field that I plan on dedicating my life. This internship highlights that real issues transpiring everyday within the state of Illinois. I would love the opportunity of obtain this internship, so that I can gain extensive knowledge on the legislative process. I plan to create different youth programs and policies for community with high crime rate. The legislative internship gives me the opportunity to have hands on experiences with the difficulties of accomplishing a long term goal of creating more opportunities for these

While I discussed my internship at the Perry County Circuit Courthouse, I included my ability to pay close attention to detail and have complete accuracy in my work. I chose to have this internship woven into my resume

My supervisor Gabriel Roberts, and his assistant Amanda De Maria, were great at getting me acclimated to working with the FJD. With little previous knowledge about the FJD, these two have helped me become more knowledgeable about the communication field, as well as the legal field. When I accepted the internship opportunity I didn’t know exactly what I was getting myself into. Gabe and Amanda aided me in my adjustment into the judicial world by being supportive and referring me to resources to expand my knowledge.

What? What happened? Elder law attorney and estate planning JD. Erin Miller explained what her job consists of working with elderly adults during an interview in class. She is certified as an Elder Law Attorney by the National Elder Law Foundation. The National Elder Law Foundation website (www.NELF.org) will assist you in finding an attorney in your area along with any special needs or concerns. JD. Miller discussed how she became an attorney. She is a graduate of York College PA, and she majored in Chemistry, which I find her (pg.7) life transition fascinating! I admire her career path from science to law, and now helping elderly people which in my opinion shows benevolence towards older adults. Looking at how hard it is to become a lawyer by going to grad school and taking your LSAT’s is hard enough. The fact that she went through hoops to get certified through NLF shows that she has compassion for older individuals and she loves her job. During this interview she raised a few questions as to

During my senior year of college, I have had the pleasure of interning in the Chatham county district attorney’s office, specifically the office of victim witness assistance. I decided to intern here because I wanted to get a better understanding of the judicial system. I first wanted to intern in the district attorney’s office but after learning that the district attorney’s office only wanted to employ third year law students, my application was then given to Mrs. Haire in the victim-witness assistance office. I began my internship on January 9, 2017, I have worked here Monday through Thursday for sixteen hours a week.

I am interested in this opportunity because I have a passion for human rights and civil liberties and I plan to pursue a career in international human rights law.

I was exactly in your place last year. Don't worry, it will all come together. What I did is I spoke to a lot of the attorneys around me. See what they think the current probelms are in that field. You want to find something that is currently a hot topic and "sexy." Sexy isn't sexual but is interesting and something that people would want to read. It also needs to be a topic you want to spend your life on this year, so make sure you are really interested in it.
