August 16th, 2010MPRE So how did the MPRE go? Not at well as I had hoped.  It was so easy; it was hard…if that makes sense.  I will be so annoyed if I didn’t pass.  Yes, I am legitimately concerned that I didn’t pass!  Scores won’t be in for five weeks so for now I’m just going to forget about it. WCPO Internship This past Friday was my last day at the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office.  I was so sad to see my t...

August 3rd, 2010The MPRE is only three days away and I’m not sure if I’m prepared or not.  I've taken a few days off of work this week to study for it. I will be so happy when it is over. I will be sure to share my thoughts after it is done. Next week is my last week at the Wayne County prosecutor's office. I am sad to see my time there end but I am also excited for a new beginning this fall. In no time at all, classes will be starting.&nbs...

July 25th, 2010It's been so long since I've written. I had no idea just how busy I was going to be this summer. I have to say that although this summer has been busier than expected it has been amazing. I have learned so much at my internship at the WCPO.  By far, the best experience at the WCPO has been when I got to work on a murder trial. I was able to write motions, briefs, and all sorts of other things.  In addition, I worked close...

June 22nd, 2010Jack Of All Trades I’m learning that to be a lawyer you really have to be a jack of all trades.  For example, today I had to edit interrogation videos for a big case I’ve been assigned to for the past few weeks now.  Luckily, I had taken a video production class in undergrad which had introduced me to the software I needed to use for the editing.  A judge went through and ruled sentence by sentence what could stay i...

June 20th, 2010My internship at the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office has been amazing so far!  Every day I learn something new and exciting.  I just finished writing my first real life Motion in Limine and Brief in Support!  When I wrote a brief in school last semester we were given 8 weeks to finish it.  When I received the assignment and was told it was due in 2.5 days, I got very nervous! I finished on time and felt proud o...

May 23rd, 2010On Monday I started my internship at the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office. I’ve only been there three days but I’ve already done a variety of things.  Yesterday I went to court for preliminary exams which lasted most of the day followed by an intern orientation seminar. Yesterday was also my boyfriend’s birthday (Happy Birthday Jimmy!) so after work I spent the rest of the evening and night celebrating! Today was another busy d...

May 16th, 2010The past week has been amazing! I’ve been sleeping in, running errands, shopping, working out, reading good books and going out with friends.  I got the chance to do all the things I haven’t had the time to do all year!  Now, tomorrow I start my internship at the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office.  I’m very excited and I look forward to sharing my experiences with you all. I’ll have one week to get acclimated to workin...

May 6th, 2010Well, it is official; I will never again be a 1L!! Tuesday morning at 11 am I finished my last final.  Afterwards our whole class headed over to The Detroiter (a bar within walking distance from school) to celebrate! The St. Thomas Moore Society (STMS) co-sponsored the event and Mike Staude the incoming 2L secretary and President of the STMS was able to get us a ton of gifts to give away! We had a raffle pretty much every five m...

April 27th, 2010I am officially no longer a Property student! I have completely finished 3 law school classes! It’s hard to believe that exactly one week from today I will be done with my first year! My property exam this morning was three hours and I cannot believe how fast time flew by.  I’m really glad to be taking a class this summer.  I’ve gotten so used to being at school and doing the whole “law school thing” that I could no...
