Work History

Shadow

Oconee Country Courthouse
Oconee County , Georgia
06.2022 - 09.2022

I met with and questioned a superior court judge while attending two big cases (The first of witch spanned several weeks and the second which lasted 5 days) during the summer of 2022. I attended the trial every day and asked the defense attorney and Judge Haggard questions about the process and what was happening. I was also able to speak with the magistrate judge, when given the opportunity, to question him about preliminary trials and day to day work as a magistrate judge. During this process I was in contact with multiple lawyers who helped me understand the law and what the day to day life of a lawyer is.

I attended a preliminary trial in 2020 where I followed the magistrate judge around for the day. After thee trial ended I went back to the judges office and asked him questions about why he did what he did and what some legal terms meant that i had written down because I did not know them.

I worked for my highschool in a society called 17, in this program we were given the task to show prospective students around the school and give tours along with representing the school as a whole in multiple events outside of the school. This is a prestigious position as only 17 students are chosen out the entire highschool and has a little over 200 applications per year.
