Blog 9 - Advisory Prep 3

 

1. State whether or not you currently have a mentor, and what the status of your interview is with that person (I have completed the interview, I have scheduled the interview, I have not scheduled the interview, etc).

I have a mentor and I completed the interview yesterday. 

2. At this point, your research is probably guiding your studies toward more specific areas within your topic.  Name the area or two you find most promising and explain your reasons.   

I have yet to decide on a specific area within my topic. I am currently researching the different fields within my topic, civil litigation, to understand each one and then I will decide which one I will further investigate. I have been most interested in estate planning and drafting wills and trusts, as that is what I have experienced during my mentorship. 

3. What kinds of sources do you think will help you in the next month to gain more research depth?  Where will you go to get them?


I feel that published PDF files or documentaries will help me in the next month to gain more research depth. I will have to research which are the best documentaries in the specific areas I will be researching and use the CRAP method to determine if they are reliable or not. 

4. Write down a possible EQ.  Please don't worry about wording other than ensuring that it provides the option for multiple correct answers.  At this point, the senior team is most interested in understanding your thought process.

At the moment I have an idea of an EQ and it is as follows:

"Through what means, do you believe, would be ideal for a quick and easy trial?"
