    Nathan, What a great visual of a court room drama! A judicial system is probably one of the most persuasive situations that each, prosecutor and defender, have to each do on a daily basis. Both have to find the most reputable witnesses and evidence that leaves not a shadow of a doubt in anyone's eyes or beliefs, from the officers to bystander witnesses to the judge and jury. Television news reporters, in conjunction with newspaper journalism, also must strive to find legitimate resources of information; one bad informant and the article is lost on the multitudes, forever questioned in the future…

Therefore, I decided to interview Zach Parks, who is currently a lawyer for Covington & Burling LLP and also studied Political Science.

Interviewing Jacob about his interactions with other cultures has made me realize that I have a lot to learn about the meaning of the privilege and holding it. Jacob was a 24-year-old Caucasian, who lived in Missouri his entire life. Though he was visiting California for the second time in his life, he was in a Persian house for the first time.…

I sought out my counselor immediately to fix this quandary.…
