Payne County update

Things are in full swing here. I've completed about 7 weeks on the job at the D.A.'s office and I can't imagine how anyone could practice without this kind of experince. I'm getting to speak in court every day. It is still exciting; however, I have not gotten to do any trials or hearings yet.

I've been learning the ropes for the last couple months and-- if I am to stay on after the summer, I'm going to ask for some traffice trials or motion hearings to get some differnt experinece. I'm still learning loads from my mistakes on the docket I do, but taking pleas and doing arraignments is starting to lose a bit of its luster and im ready to take a bit more responsibility.

The Oklahoma court systems are all online and it is pretty cool to see my name on there as representing the state --for an example of a case last week see here.

This legal intern's licence thing is such a great opportunity and any OK law student should seriously consider it. There are a lot of hoops to jump through to get the license but it is WELL worth it.
