    Political Science with a Concentration in American Politics Georgia Attorney General’s Office

    How did you hear about your internship?

    I heard about the internship at the AG’s Office through my boss from an internship I had done a year prior. He recommended I apply for this summer position.

    What has been the most valuable (or favorite) part of the experience?

    One of my favorite experiences has been sitting in on oral arguments before the Georgia Supreme Court. It’s amazing to witness the highest court in our state function in ways I had only read about in class. The state’s Solicitor General also works in our office, so I had a couple opportunities to listen to him practice for upcoming arguments he had before the Court. Watching the Solicitor General argue the cases I had seen him practice prior made the entire experience even better.

    How will this help you in the future?

    I’m interested in both state politics and law, so this is the perfect internship for me. I continually get to learn from lawyers who have vastly different fields of practice, from those working in working in consumer protection to prosecuting human traffickers. Understanding their day-to-day lives solidified my ambition to eventually go to law school. I also get to attend various legislative hearings which occur at the Capitol and discuss state policy initiatives with a variety of stakeholders. Ultimately, I’m not only getting invaluable hands-on experience in two industries I want to work in, but I’m also receiving excellent networking opportunities. Both will allow me to begin my career out of college with the right job.
