Blog 12: Holiday Project Update

The new year is here and the senior project continues!

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?

I have already completed my required mentorship hours and I really didn't do anything towards my senior project besides work on my notebook. 

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

I had done a bit of research for my senior project and learned a bit about conservatorships and guardianships, which is the type of law my mentor practices. I also learned a bit on relationships between a client and their attorney, which is what my essential question will be based on. I plan to research a bit more on different types of cases involving attorney and client agreement and disagreement as well as the psychology of how best to serve a customer (this may seem a bit farfetched but I feel it will be necessary for my research on the client and attorney relationship). 

3.  Your third interview will be a 10 question interview related to possible answers for your EQ. Who do you plan to talk to and why?

For my third interview, I plan to interview one of the paralegals at the law firm I mentor at because she seems to be the closest to the clients as she is always welcoming new clients and sometimes talks to clients on behalf of my mentor. I also would like to research a bit more on paraegals and the impact they make in the environment of a law firm and the client and attorney relationship and the opposing counsel relationships, as they also interact with the opposing counsel on behalf of attorneys.
