My internship is with the Law Office of Peter Buh, which handles DUI traffic offenses, and my task at this firm is to be the legal assistant for Peter’s legal aid, Ellen Normando. I found this internship, as I have a familial connection to the firm, and I had known Peter for a few years, leading up to when I applied for the position. My specific tasks at this internship are, first and foremost, to log all DUI cases that are handled by Peter, and organize them based off if a town or municipality filed them, the state, or the county. Additionally, I shadow Peter 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 peoples 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 can relate to DUI infractions, or if there is a correlation at all.
