My New Internship Position

Greetings classmates,

I thought I would share with you the location of where I will be doing my internship. I was fortunate enough to land an intership with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in Phoenix. This government agency oversees businesses and companies to ensure that employees are not being discriminated at their work places. From what I can tell so far, discrimination is more common place than I thought. I will be helping the attorneys and paralegals with court filings, scheduling of depositions, interviewing witnesses, and a myriad of other projects.

I will also be having contact with the local District Courts for the purposes of filing motions, pleadings, and other court related documents. It also looks like a may be performing legal research to ensure that the law the office is using is current and has not been overturned at higher court levels. I am very excited to be working for this agency. I may even be able to attend a few trials if the cases proceed to that level. I will keep you informed on what I am doing as I progress through my internship.

Theresa
