Like learning a language, it is difficult to learn unless you speak it and apply it. In this internship, I wish to practice using and understanding the language of law. Hopefully, it will expand my knowledge of the vocabulary so I can be proficient in speaking, listening and writing. One other thing I would like to witness is the legal system behind the scenes. It is a rare opportunity to be placed in the District Attorney’s environment of a major city and county. The closest I’ve gotten to see the system is in court for a traffic violation. I feel like the legal world is like the ocean. You can’t see much above the surface looking in but once you dive in, you discover remarkable things. Just being in the environment and being able to observe will be interesting, and any hands-on work will be exponentially astonishing.
I feel blessed to have this opportunity knowing the chances of getting this internship opportunity is very low. An incredible educational experience awaits me. I wish to experience one or all of the things that I have discussed. I am excited not only for the experience, but for the outcome it can have on my career path. Regardless of the outcome, I am ready and motivated to absorb the most I can out of this incredible
