Blog 9 - Advisory Prep 3

1. State whether or not you currently have a mentor, and what the status of your interview is with that person (I have completed the interview, I have scheduled the interview, I have not scheduled the interview, etc).

Yes I have a mentor, and I've already scheduled an interview.

2. At this point, your research is probably guiding your studies toward more specific areas within your topic.  Name the area or two you find most promising and explain your reasons.  
Perhaps hardcore gang law or domestic abuse law.
 
3. What kinds of sources do you think will help you in the next month to gain more research depth?  Where will you go to get them?

Perhaps things pertaining to law, which I will ask my mentor about after the interview. 

4. Write down a possible EQ.  Please don't worry about wording other than ensuring that it provides the option for multiple correct answers.  At this point, the senior team is most interested in understanding your thought process.

What is most essential for an attorney to build his/her case?

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

Film and/or edit a 10+ min documentary revolving around the individual's role in the criminal justice system.

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

The 30 hours will be accumulated through script-writing, filming, research, and editing. 

3.  Explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.

The better someone understands how one can make a big difference, the better prepared that person is.  Basically, understanding this will help me understand how effectively, as an attorney, I should present and prove my case.

4.  Update your Senior Project Hours log.

Ok

•  Has the criminal court changed in any way?
•  For how long have you worked here?
•  What do you currently do for your job?
•  What do you feel was most important to helping you get where you are now?
