“This internship has given me valuable experience and exposure to many stages of the criminal justice process from courtroom proceedings to the behind the scenes work of a DA’s office. I have enjoyed observing and collaborating with staff members on a variety of projects including case and trial prep. My favorite memory was being recognized alongside other interns at the end of the summer for work we did finding relevant body cam footage in a case set for trial.”
