My internship is with a Traffic Law Office in Geneva, IL, outside Chicago, which handles DUI traffic offenses. My task at this firm is to be the legal assistant for the lead prosecutor. I found this internship, as I have a familial connection to the firm through my grandma, and I had been previously familiar with this office, as I would go to work with her when I was little. I had worked unpaid for experience leading up to when I applied for a paid position. My specific tasks at this internship are, first and foremost, to log all DUI cases that are handled by the prosecution, assemble Notices to Appear for clients, and I will soon type up bench warrants in the future. Additionally, I occasionally will shadow the prosecution in court, so I can see how the court process is handled, as it's vastly different compared to what TV presents it as. I enjoy seeing how people can recover their lives from incidents that wind them up in the justice system, and I also find it fascinating how people's demeanor towards the legal system can either aid or hinder their success in fixing their lives. I am excited for this opportunity, and I plan to work on a project that analyzes how social demographics or socioeconomic status can translate to DUI offending, or if there is a correlation at all.
