My law school journey has begun, to some extent. The deans of my law school recommended that we read a book titled, "What Every Law Student Really Needs to Know," by Tracey George and Suzanna Sherry. Here's the cover:
This book provides an objective introduction to legal study. The book reviews what to expect in law school, an overview of the government and the American legal system, and techniques, concepts, and strategies to help you succeed in law school and as a lawyer. It also provides different resources that law students can use to help better understand legal theory. I've decided to read a chapter a day (there are only six chapters) and finish within the week. What I've read thus far has been entertaining and informative. I feel like it's providing me with proper insight into what I need to expect on the first day of classes and giving me basic background information that will help me succeed. I'm very thankful that the deans at Belmont suggested I read this book!

I've also been interning with the District Attorney General's Office in Clarksville, Tennessee. I've been observing what the District Attorneys do in General Sessions and Circuit Courts. I've observed the behind-the-scenes processes and have been mentored by one of the best Assistant District Attorneys in the area. This internship has been extremely informative and, actually, very fun. It has made me strongly consider public service as a DA as a possible career choice. I think I would find it enjoyable, challenging, and fulfilling. Here's to hoping they will take me on next summer as a full-time intern!
Take care,
