Internship Search

So, this week I had to two interviews. One was at D.C. Law Students in Court and the other was The Office of the Attorney General of the District of Columbia. What a nerve racking experience! I had to make sure I knew exactly where I was supposed to meet for my interview, and how to get there. The most difficult part though was trying to estimate how long it would take to get to my destination by the metro. Because I was unsure how long it would take, I had to leave about two hours earlier than when I was expected to be there. Better to be early than late though! As they say “The early bird gets the worm.” And to my luck, the interviews went well and I received offers from both of them! It was gratifying knowing I had successfully taken the first step towards my future career.

It was a difficult decision because both internships offered a position where I could gain valuable legal experience through hands-on work. Also, the staff and the environment of the offices were well suited to what I was looking for. But, I ultimately chose The Office of the Attorney General of the District of Columbia. I was offered a position in the Child Protection Section of the Family Services Division. I look forward to begin working on these cases and to help these children find a safe and loving household. I know it will be heart wrenching to hear these cases, but I think it’s important to find justice for these children that cannot help themselves. I’ll be sure to share my first few days as an intern with everyone!
