Comments from Evidence Based Domestic Violence Prosecution Students:

“I wish this could be presented in the schools to 9th and 10th graders. Also, it would be great to be presented in textile plants to large groups of people of the communities.”

“Excellent! Learned how to do my job better. Protect and serve.”

Dear Mr. Parker,

Thank you so much for taking the time to interview me this week. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and gaining insight into your life as a District Attorney. There are many more facets to your job than I realized and I am impressed by all your community outreach programs. I now see why you need an extra set of hands around the office. Thank you again for meeting with me and considering me for this exciting new position.

Dear Mr. Parker,

I want to thank you for allowing me to intern with your office this summer. My experience was highly rewarding. In addition to the considerable amount of trial and research experience I gained this summer, I thoroughly enjoyed working with such a great group of attorneys and administrative staff. It was a great pleasure to work and learn with from everyone.

In particular, I want to thank you for time you spent with me preparing for Superior Court. Your lessons o introducing evidence ad how to act in front of a jury were very informative and will be of great use to me in the future as an attorney. I also learned a great deal from your Domestic Violence workshop, which was very useful for trying domestic violence cases as well as for my Domestic Violence Seminar this summer. Most importantly, I have learned a great deal from you about how to act as an attorney and a public official, responsible to both his office and the public.
