Yesterday on Wednesday, March 13th, 2013, I spent a day researching different types of cases such as ones that involve Juvenile Delinquency, Immigration and Civil Rights. These three types of law interest me the most.
The reason why I want to be into Juvenile Delinquency is because I believe that all children have a different story that deserves to be heard. I'd like to defend their title especially if a teenager has committed a crime who's experienced child abuse or neglect or an imbalanced family structure. Based on my research for my research paper, children become more prone to committing bad crimes because of those various reasons.
I am interested in Immigration because I think people who have a clean criminal record and have lived in America for a long time, deserve to be a permanent resident and a citizen. It isn't fair that innocent people have to be deported all because they want to start a new life over here. I think children should definitely be able to stay in the country because in most cases, they were so little and young when they came to America and they didn't know what was going on. And if they spent their life here and studied and suddenly have to go back home all because they don't have papers? I think that's plain wrong. I want to fight for those people.
Lastly, I chose Civil Rights because ever since I went to Sojourn, I realized how important civil rights are to everyone. Before, they were just two words to me, but as I learned more about the Civil Rights Movement and peoples' rights, I got more into it. Everyone has rights and I want to defend those whose were violated in the past, present, and future. I learned in Sojourn that crimes from the 1940's committed by the Ku Klux Klan weren't brought to justice until the early 2000's. It's really upsetting and it gave me a lot of motivation to fight back. Total time: 4 hours
