Internship
Law INTERNSHIP
My mentor works for the federal court of the district of San Diego. I met my mentor, Hon. Judge Houston, on Dec. 3 to talk about my internship. During this meeting I got an inside look on on the judicial system by spectating a court case about a border crossing violation. This gave me a taste of what I am gong to experience through my time during this internship. I had an Interview planed out but There was not time to ask the question that I had made. They will be documented at a later time.
Getting Ready for Internship
Since my internship is starting tomorrow, there are some thing that I am exited about. I am excited about learning more about the judicial system. I am also exited to see what kind of work a judges and lawyers do.
Some thing I am nervous about is looking out of place. I feel that I mike get some attention that I would not like to have in the court room. I am also nervous that I will be assigned a task that I will be unable to complete.
Blog Day 2
These last two day I have been Getting acclimated to my new desk and have acquired my Identification card so I could enter the building as an employee. I am Also Interning with a collage student who attends San Diego State so she has ben showing what to do during my time there. For work I have mostly been organizing court files or purging old files. What I like a lot about my internship is the amount of freedom I
have in this judges chambers, for lunch I am able to walk to the local mall and find myself a nice place to eat. The only problem I have is that I have to wear a suit everyday. This is because I am in an professional environment. For the most part I like my internship because it is very interesting.

The first three days of my internship have been surprisingly fun. Today I listened to some court hearings and took notes on the Defendants. The judges chambers are fairly quiet because there are only 6 people in the office including me. There is never a dull moment in the chambers because there is always work to be done. During lunch time the is a lot of freedom. I am able to go pretty much wherever I want down town as long as I am back within the hour. Since I am so young in this professional area I sometime get looks form security guards, especially when I go through the employees only door. The Law Clerks and other workers in the chambers are very nice and are happy to help me out whenever I have any trouble doing anything. I am sure the next three week should be entertaining and educational.

The area I am working in is a very quiet and comfortable space. I work mostly in the judges chambers expect for Mondays and Fridays when the judge has hearings witch can take all day. The court room is really nice because the building is fairly new. The chambers I work in is on floor 13, so I have a really good view of the city. There are three Law Clerk offices in the chambers so I rotate through those all day. My hours are from 9 am to 3:30, but sometimes I must leave early for basketball games that are farther away. There are multiple inters working with in the chambers. One of the interns is a collage student and the other is a law school student. They help me if I don't know where something is and teach me about the chambers. There is a small kitchen in the chambers with a microwave and a fridge for lunch. My site is really close to Horton Plaza so I am able to walk there for food.Tomorrow I will add picture to my site.

My Project that I am going to do is going to be a graph of all of the court cases that I witnessed during my time with my judge. I will give the crime that each person committed and try to find any links between the types of people. I will use a graphing website to create the graph and present it in my powerpoint.

I'v been attending my internship for about eight days now and there are many differences between work and school. My work day is easy more relaxed that my school day. Since I am still a high school student I am unable to do all of the legal things that the law clerk or judges do, but I am learning a lot from being here. unlike school this internship is more about time watching what is happening then actually doing doing the work. What I can take from this is better skills because there is a lot of reading that goes down in my chambers. This internship is to just help me understand what I might what to do in the future.

There are not many elements that I saw during the time at my internship that could help the teachers with teaching in the classroom. A skill I learned that could help me personal in class is being patient and know when it is time to listen. I am In a position where everyone else around me knows a whole lot more than I do so I must do more listening than I do taking.

I believe that in my time at my internship I have helped the law clerks with creating senate fillers and other activities. My work was meaningfull because I learned how to speck and act in a professional environment. I learn aa lot about our judicial system in Southern California and what it take to blame a law clerk in a federal court judges chambers. My project was just thought up out of the blue. I never really knew what the final product was going to be until i was done getting all of my information down on the spread sheet. The process was watching all of he sentencing and going through then documents to fine the characteristics and backgrounds of the people I witnessed. I leaned that I don't like coming in a suite everyday to work and that when I need to keep it professional I am abel to do that when being in the professional environment. I don't know if I ow like o go into the fueled o law but this was a great experience to get me thinking about life after school.

some appreciaitons I learned while being at this internship are being young and somewhat still innocent. I have witness people who have done bad things and have gone to jail for long periods of time. I am lucky I still have time to learn from others. While working at my Internship I saw that the other people in my environment had to act professionally and dress professionally. These people were able to socialize but at the end of the day the work had to get done and they did it. that is what I admired about them. This internship showed me that I must work hard to even be considered In working in an environment of this caliber. Communication in any environment is key. At my internship if you did not communicate then it would take longer to do the work . I had to really push myself to speak well with these adults.
