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

Michigan’s great name and ranking would be enough for nearly every applicant to want to Michigan Law. However, when I started looking closer at law schools and what they stand for and areas of expertise I found that Michigan aligns with my belief and interest more than any other law school I have seen. Not only is the reputation of the school so good that it is recognized everywhere but the tradition and location of the school is just as impressive. While I would also enjoy escaping the hot Texas climate but the values and of the school are something that I love even more about the school. The belief in interdisciplinary learning and actions is something that I think is important for being able to work on some of the most difficult issues

It has been an honor for me to participate in the event. Those 3 days have definitely been one of the best experiences I've had. It was amazing to be with such rounded scholars. Going into the camp, I was unsure what I wanted to do, but after listening to the different career paths at Goldman, I realized that GIR would be a be a division that I would like to do more research on. The Goldman Employees are some of the nicest people and smartest individuals I have met. I look forward to hopefully obtaining an internship in the summer and be around such great people. Goldman Sachs made me feel like family and it is a company where my career can grow. This summer I will be working for a landscaping company. Towards the end of July I will be traveling

Prior to returning to college, I worked as a paralegal in various areas of law. The majority of my paralegal career was focused on family and criminal law. My views have changed and evolved over time in how I have witnessed individuals that get caught in the legal system. A good number of legal issues stem from situations that an individual has as much control over as their eye color and the longer I worked in the legal field the more I observed how punishing people for uncontrollable issues in their lives is cruel and unproductive. Eventually, the fruitless legal circle became exhausting and I found myself burnt out, although I still wanted to help the clients I worked with. Consequently, when I considered going back to school, I knew that

Next month I will be a third year student at St. John’s University School of Law. I am writing to express my interest in the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office and would like to be considered for an Assistant District Attorney position after graduation. I am confident that my professional experience, academic success, and legal research and writing skills are strong qualifications that can help me prove valuable in such a role with the District Attorney’s Office.

As a child I always wanted to be a teacher, until my sophomore year of high school. The class of 2015 attended a tour of the Branch Area Career Center. The Branch Area Career Center is a technical school for high school students. As I walked around to different classes they offered my attention gravitated towards criminal justice. I attended my junior and senior year. My junior year we discussed different aspects of the criminal justice field. Once my senior year came, I job shadowed in my local district court. I was able to watch trials and meet local attorneys. My mentor throughout the year helped me discover my passion for the field of paralegal studies.

I interviewed a woman that works with my mother and have known for several years now. She had been summoned and questioned by attorneys six times. She was only selected three of the six times to serve on the jury. Her first thought was “oh crap.” Although it may not be seen as a very nice response, but it is a very natural human response and she is not the only one who has reacted in that way. She was very nervous receiving the summons; it was something new and practically unknown to her. Some of the questions she was asked were if she owns a gun, if she has a gun in the house, about her education, and mostly just general questions. There is one question that stood out from the others though. Once when being asked by an attorney, she

Sometime in October, I asked you for help, to please find out about this particular attorney disciplinary record, this was with respect to my son's accident. You expressed that you were going to inquire, look into more about the attorney in question once you return to work on Tuesday from your Columbus holiday. I was looking forward for your info. to explore into the possibilities of attaining and secure a good attorney to represent my son in the event of filing a law suit against the person who hit my son on his bike. But to my bad luck, lo and behold, Gina NEVER followed suit on her promise.

In my role as a Guardian ad litem for the Richland County Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) I counseled clients in order to determine what was in the child’s best interest (residence, education, healthcare and life skills). My clients were juveniles whom had prior criminal records and was also categorized as juvenile delinquents. In addition, their guardians additionally had prior open and closed cases with the Department of Social Services. I remained calm at all times and I never took things personal when the outcomes were not successful. I was very successful as a Guardian ad litem and an asset to the Judiciary and the Department of Juvenile Justice because I listened to all parties involved thoroughly and conducted all necessary

When I was sworn in as a licensed attorney in 2000 with the State of Maryland, I had no clue what I would do next or where I would work. I had been sending my resume to various law firms for employment. However, I was unsuccessful in my pursuit to find a position as an Associate Attorney with any law firm. For the 100 resumes I sent out to various law firms, I was contacted only by ten law firms for an interview.

Plan and arrange travel itineraries. Coordinate meetings and oversee calendar appointments. Instruct and support new employees to ensure attention to detail and adherence to company policy. Compile and establish digital and hard copy files. Assist with word processing, transcription and document comparisons. Keep control over travel expenses and delegate reports to the accounting department for reimbursement. From November 2012-February 2013 I worked as an administrative assistant at Orrick through Fillmore Search Group. I continued to work as an Administrative Assistant until November of 2016 when I was promoted to Legal Secretary.

When I began my search for an internship, I knew I wanted to end up in some form of real estate. When I was hired by Principal to work on the asset management side of investment properties, I was not aware I would find the sub-field of real estate I’d like to pursue a career in. I feel as though I have grown as a professional through the many aspects and actions it takes to manage “Class A” real estate product. There are two skill sets in particular I have grown the most in at Principal: Analyzing and Human Interaction.

I haven’t always been certain exactly what career I would end up with, but I have always known that whatever I did, I would be involved in the world of music. Music is my life’s passion, the one thing I’ve turned to continually through every high and low point of my life. Learning about every aspect of it is my favorite thing in the world. Studying music business at NYU would offer me an education revolving around the thing I love most from professors with industry experience, while offering unparalleled hands-on opportunities.

I have been trained to become a chemist since the first year of my high school. This is a challenging career, requiring analytical thinking, attention to details, and adaptability. It is also a well-paying and promising career. However, chemistry is not what I have always dreamt of doing the rest of my life. As someone who is concerned about the development of sub-Saharan Africa, I came to a conclusion that what this region needs is not only scientists but also people who know and understand leadership and international affairs. In this paper, I compare my strengths and abilities to the qualities that one should have in order to excel as a chemist and a diplomat.
