Closing Arguments

Before I started my practicum, I was really excited to meet my employer and overall a new environment where people work in the field I wish to work in once I am older and finish college. My Practicum is done with The Law Offices of Thomas Cox III. This law firm deals with criminal defense cases, and the firm itself is really nice.

On my first day, I arrived and was immediately greeted by the staff and Thomas himself, who is the head attorney. I met Rebekah, who is my supervisor, Preveena, and Laura. My day-to-day activities as of right now consist of looking through a client's discovery and moving them into the client files. It’s a long process, but I enjoy helping in any way I can.

These past couple of days, I've gotten close to the office manager, Laura. I sometimes sit in her office, and while we are both doing work, we talk about my aspirations and goals in life once I graduate high school. Being in a practicum, I realize all the hard work and effort it takes to become someone who helps others in the law field. These observations motivate me even more to work hard and simply believe in myself in what I am capable of in the real world.
