Today started off great. After a good nights sleep and a nice bacon and egg bagel from Einstein Bros. ®. Bagels, I was ready for a day of work. Today I will work with Mrs. Cristal Cienfuegos.
Mrs. Cienfuegos is the senior paralegal at Jackson Law Firm. She graduated from McKinney High School with honors and is studying criminal justice at Dallas Community College. She has worked with the Jackson Law firm for three years and is the reason why everything is organized and goes smoothly at the firm.
Shadowing her, I started off the day filing and learning about how tickets work and the process attorneys, judges, and the individual pulled over goes through. She taught me a great deal of how things really work in court and how the Jackson Law firm tries to help people.
Today I talked to a political science professor and received advice regarding what classes I should take in college. Myrtle Freeman suggested political science and a minor in either economics or business.
Today I answered calls, made calls, and greeted clients. Mrs. Cienfuegos taught me how to use the calendar database and I was able to schedule events and document dates of past events regarding Mr. Warren. This gave me the opportunity to see how much work it really takes to be successful as a criminal defense lawyer and how busy a day can be.
For lunch, Mr. Warren, Mrs. Cienfuegos, and I ate at Good Eats. We had a more relaxed discussion on everyday life.
After lunch it was back to work. The rest of the day was spent filing and making calls to jails.
