I prepare Grand Jury Subpoenas by receiving a Federal Agents, hereinafter Special Agents, Grand Jury Subpoena Request and then combining it with the corresponding case AUSAs Grand Jury Subpoena Form.

There have been several ways that I have organized Trial Preparation Material, one of the most memorable is preparing a lot of the evidence that pertains to the 2022 Tractor Trailer Case which was investigated primarily by HSI, under the Department of Homeland Security. This case has been deemed as the largest Human Smuggling Event in U.S. History. The tasks that I was given was revolved around the Electronic Communication between subjects involved in the case. Specifically, I converted Time Stamps within these conversation's from UTC(Coordinated Universal Time) to CST(Central Standard Time). Another notable task that I was given was to prepare the Extradition Packet for one subject(s) pertaining to Tractor Trailer Case. I did so by preparing AUSA affidavits, an Exhibit List, Relevant Legal Provisions, an HSI Agents Affidavit, Transcription Sets, Autopsy Reports, Photos of the Deceased, and Witness Declarations to adhere to my advisor(s) task.
