Today I took the time and read another case that my mentor gave me. Its another Romero Motion, but this time it's about a person with a DUI. This one was a private case so I cant talk much about it because it is client privileged just like most cases, but it was a really long case. It took a while to get through the reading because I wanted to make sure that I got a thorough understanding of the case and background of the person. It took me about two hours to finish the reading and then took me another two hours to analyze the case as to why the person did it or why it happened. As I analyzed it, I summed up my thoughts as being a defense attorney that the person who did the crime doesn't necessarily have to do the time.. in jail. In fact, there are other alternatives for them such as a rehabilitation center or community service.
I've come to the understanding that by becoming an attorney comes with the joy of reading because you do a lot of reading. This is something I would really need to work on because although I do enjoy reading, it's not something I consider my hobby.
Total Time: 19 hours
