Description of Externship
My Externship is in downtown and the organization is called Californian Innocence Project. The innocence project receives mail from hundreds of inmates all over california, and we look into cases where they ask for help. At least 5 to 10% of inmates all around the world who are innocent, because of a crime they did not commit, they are held behind bars. So it´s the innocence Project´s job to find these people and help them on their release. My mentor is Jeremy Stock and he´s a district attorney, he´s going to show me and teaching me how this organization is run.
Reflection
I´m excited to learn everything there is to being a lawyer. I chose an externship that was completely unrelated to any hobbies or gifts, because I´m searching for something that I can do in a career. I´m glad I have a mentor who´s excited to teach me and the 5 other interns. I´m only worried about transportation and failing to help an inmate.
