In the state of New Mexico, ninety-four judges, preside. There are thirteen different districts. These are courts of general jurisdiction, which hold jury trials. The 11th judicial court in Aztec is where I decided to complete my ten hours of service learning hours. The judicial court will hear these types of cases: Tort, contract, real property rights, and estate.
Turning to 2016, I began my legal career as a paralegal specialist at the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia. In less than a year, I was promoted to a trial attorney. I have practiced law in four divisions, primarily focusing on civil enforcement. In my current role, I supervise interns with two colleagues. As a team, we make ourselves available for mentoring and provide regular follow-up on their development.
In earlier years, I had worked and committed my experience to investigating, dissecting, and developing information inside my humanitarian effort during the Obama menstruation political campaign. While also performed tasks such as canvassing, data file, and entry, answering phone calls, and other means of customer service, during my time with this volunteer group. For this reason, my volunteer work with this campaign helped give me a sense of insight and involvement that I can later apply to my lifelong hopes and dreams. By obtaining a Master of Legal Studies degree, I hope to further my roles and impact in the careers and avenues God can potentially lead me to be in. For the most part, a Master of Legal Studies degree to me is a degree that can not only broaden my horizon in increasing my skills and knowledge in and outside of the legal studies field.
While maybe hard to believe, growing up in Northwest Washington D.C., I became accustomed to witnessing discrimination both blatant and covert. My family is one who has always worked diligently on the behalf of others, starting with my grandmother who is a starch advocate for the disabled. My grandmother protected the rights of my aunt who is intellectually disabled and other clients who could not speak for themselves, while my mother is a special education teacher and educator. These experiences inspired my desire to fight for social and civil rights as a civil rights attorney. I have taken several steps in pursuit of establishing my law career that has contributed to my personal development.
From a young age, I have always had a deep passion for helping people and making a positive impact in my community. Growing up, I admired law enforcement officers for their dedication to protecting and serving their communities, and I knew that I wanted to follow in their footsteps. My desire to study law enforcement is driven by my innate desire to help others. I believe that law enforcement officers play a crucial role in maintaining peace and order in society, and I am eager to be a part of that mission. Whether it is responding to emergencies, investigating crimes, or simply patrolling the streets, I know that I will be making a difference in the lives of people in my community every day.
Having already earned a bachelor’s degree in criminology and criminal justice, I am currently applying to a master’s in public policy and administration program with a specialization in criminal justice policy and administration. It is my career goal to address criminal justice issues, such as mass incarceration, through research, program development and evaluation, and policy analysis, especially as they affect the most vulnerable members of our society. Although the Spring 2016 Criminal Justice Research Internship was posted over a month ago, I am still going through with this submission because it is exactly the type of work I want to do and I believe that criminal justice reform hinges on the collaboration between local and state agencies.
In order to achieve moral perfection, Benjamin Franklin created an elaborate plan to improve his character by honing in on thirteen virtues he determined were the most important. While reading through these virtues and their brief explanations, I thought about my own life and which one of these virtues I believe holds the greatest value. Ultimately, I decided that virtue number eight, Justice: “Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty,” was the most important to me (Franklin, 1771, pg. 65). Not only do we seek justice for ourselves when we feel we have been wronged, we often empathize with and promote justice for others who have been wronged. Justice can be defined in many different ways, however, I would break
At a very early age I’ve always had a problem with injustices and often analyzed how they could possibly be corrected. From this derived my desire to become a lawyer as a teenager leading possibly to a judge. In my initial entrance into higher education I chose another path for personal reasons thus prolonging my desire to enter law school. After several years passed I realized that I’ve been delaying my entry into the justice system and decide recently to go back to school for my passion. Immediately I began to research schools for criminal justice degrees and came across CSU Global.
Throughout my life I have gone through many phases of career choices but one has been most prevalent and recurring. Criminal justice and law has been a career field which I have taken interest in since I was young. In recent years I have looked more past law into the field of forensic science to solidify the career I hope to one day have as I have found a strong passion for science inside myself. Forensic science and law are different but also codependent in a way. These two fields overlap in that forensic evidence is many times the foundation for a lawyer’s case yet the forensics team has to follow the law that accompanies evidence collection and examination.
Providing legal assistance in a helpful and effective way is something I am very passionate about. As a third year Legal Studies and History student at the University of Wisconsin - Madison I have spent a lot of time closely analyzing legal issues to find satisfactory solutions. I think I am a good candidate for the UW Law School’s Wisconsin Innocence Project internship because I have a desire to learn and understand the law through close observation and because I have experience navigating customer service and interpersonal interactions in a responsive and positive manner. Through my experiences studying Legal Studies, History, and Criminal Justice I have acquired an interest in pursuing law post-graduation. In doing this coursework as well as maintaining membership of the UW-Madison Pre-Law Society for 2.5 years I have been exposed to a variety of different types of law, but through my focus on criminal
My name us Dulcie Brennan and I am in my first year of Sixth Form at Trent College in Long Eaton, Derbyshire. I am writing to ask if you would consider an application from me for work experience with you during summer 2017. Over the past couple of years I have sought out experience relevant to my interests in a career in law and public relations. I recently undertook a week long placement at Northamptonshire County Council; I worked in Democratic Services and spent time interviewing councillors and performing administration tasks.
I know what degree and career I want to pursue. Computer Engineering is what I like because the curriculum fits my academic interests, and the professional opportunities this degree opens, match the career I long for. The fact that studying computer engineering will allow me to pursue the career I want is important for me because I know I will spend a good portion of my life working. Enjoying my future career is something I am taking into account when choosing the degree that I want to study since being happy and motivated while working will allow me to perform my job correctly and have a better life. Also, there is a high demand of computer engineers.
For over 20 years, I have dreamed of completing my Master’s Degree. Over the years, my motivation may have changed a bit; but, my desire to reach my goal has never faltered. In my twenties, I just wanted to make more money. Then, as I settled into various positions, I just wanted to do it for the sense of accomplishment. I wanted to be an example to my daughter.
My interest in participating in this program has developed as a result of the benefits I gained from my first study abroad program. Last summer I studied abroad for the first time in Florence, Italy, as part of the UNL Interdisciplinary Arts and Culture study abroad program and the experience had a positive impact on me academically, professionally, and personally. One way in which my study abroad program positively impacted me academically was by equipping me with background knowledge on the subjects that I would be studying upon my return in the fall semester. For instance, this past fall semester when I took a course in Renaissance Art History I was better able to recall information about Renaissance art during exams because the background knowledge I acquired about Renaissance Art while studying abroad in Florence, Italy, the birthplace of the Renaissance, reinforced the information I had been learning in the classroom.
