INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the present memo is to reflect on my performance at my externship with the Navy JAG Corps, in the first half of the spring 2017 semester. It is to discuss any difficulties and challenges I am facing, and any hopes for the second half of the semester. It is also to get candid feedback about my performance so that I can improve and grow as a lawyer.
MY PERCEPTION OF THE STRENTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF MY PERFORMANCE

Looking forward to the second half of the semester, I would like to be further challenged with assignments that push me to engage in broad range of skills.
I would like to add one goal that was not in my initial goals memo. If possible, I would like to participate in an ADSEP board from beginning to end. I would enjoy the opportunity to ask questions of a witness with another attorney present, of course. I know I was scheduled to participate with an ADSEP, but due to rescheduling during spring break I cannot attend the initial one
