Reflections: The LJA internship introduced me to different practice areas of the law including, among others, family, probate and criminal law. Being able to rotate through different courts gave me insight and a unique perspective into the different procedures of each court and how matters were handled at each one. Most importantly, the internship gave me the opportunity to work closely with each judge and their staff, which resulted in forming personal connections that lasted beyond the LJA internship.
