Give us a brief summary of your experience?

As an intern, I had a virtual meeting every day where I met with ADAs in different units, such as human trafficking, domestic abuse, firearms trafficking, etc, to learn more about what they did. In addition, I attended arraignments virtually and wrote a policy paper on human trafficking education and prevention.

How did this experience impact you academically?

This experience impacted me academically because I was able to use what I had learned in class and apply it to real-life experiences and cases. I have also learned new information about the law that will help me in future classes.
