Presentation Reflection

My interview helped me make my presentation because I talked about the important parts of my interview like, The house Ruth, different types of books to read, and what to study in.

The service learning I will be doing in the future stood out the most to because I’m going to have a chance of experiencing what it’s like to be at The House of Ruth.

The presentation itself was challenging and using my interview and putting it in a presentation format. The reason being is I was trying to make it sound interesting without it sounding like I was reading off the paper.

Interview Check

I’m going to be interviewing Antonio Bastard a criminal lawyer, the reason why I will be interviewing attorney Bastard because I felt as he was the perfect match for me to interview but also to do my hours with him, he’s honestly a role model to me. I felt the energy from him and seeing him work on different and many cases he was very motivated. I hung out with Bastard for an entire day, I really opened up to him and he was honor to allow me to work with him. A couple of additional questions I would ask attorney Bastard is What are your professional background and experience? Average how much time does it take to close a case? How do you handle cases? How many cases have you done so far? Have you ever felt threatened by any clients?

Criminal Lawyer

My topic for senior year is Criminal Law. Why Criminal Law? To be honest ever since I was little I wanted to become a lawyer. Law & Order was always a favorite show of mine and knowing that would be me one day, I absolutely loved it. While looking more into law and researching different things it just really caught my attention. I have so much interest in becoming a lawyer, I always pictured myself in court fighting a case. I knew my life goals were set to become a lawyer and specifically a criminal lawyer. I would hope to accomplish basic knowledge of laws and the rights of citizens that are being prosecuted by the law. I also hope to gain work experiences in the field of criminal law and apply that knowledge to my future career and now my rights as a citizen.
