University of Michigan has prepared me for this internship by giving me a quality education. My supervisor has had me spell-check some of the employees reports for errors. During my courses at the University of Michigan I believe we have uncovered the errors of our society as well as produce solutions we think may help alleviate the problem. I feel this is a step beyond what other Universities may do in just analyzing the problem itself. This problem solving approach generated by theUniversity of Michigan has helped me to have a more proactive mind-set. My liberal-arts education has helped to develop my reading comprehension and writing skills. I believe these two skills are particularly important to be a successful attorney.
There is one major event that I have found particularly interesting. I have had the opportunity to sit in on a week long trial. I had faith in the jury to make a decision based on evidence, science, and the law. However, in my opinion, the jury decided on a terrible verdict without any basis on the case information, but rather with their personal opinions towards the counsel. This was very discouraging and disappointing to me. I was under the impression a jury would uphold their civic responsibility and serve the public but this did not seem to be the case whatsoever. As an individual that wants to practice law I learned a big lesson in that courtroom over the week. Now I understand this may not always be the case regarding jury verdicts, but I was astounded in their decision, considering the judge’s verdict was the complete opposite.
