Welcome to the Dept. of Justice



Yesterday was the first day of my internship at the Department of Justice. It was interesting; as soon as I arrived I was shuttled off to some court proceedings where I got to see a little bankruptcy law in action. I even saw a judge call an attorney an "irritating human being," because the attorney was visibly laughing as the opposing counsel made their motion argument.

Other than that, the only thing I did was literally receive a rolling briefcase full of books, with the instructions to "read these" over the next few days. The US Trustee I am working for handed me 10 books and 3 power point presentations print outs; so suffice to say I am in my school library right now with a considerable amount of Ritalin in my veins.

Overall, I think it will be a good experience.

that sucks so bad, but is cool at the same time! Too bad your internship is not nearly as cool as our selling t-shirts in Hawaii! :)

Wow Jim, I thought you would never start. Sounds like a tv court drama, only less cool.

Can I get some of that Ritalin for my job?
