It got me out of my comfort zone a number of times and forced me to be efficient and resourceful in how I approached my work. The best part of my internship was being able to get involved in the casework and be part of the brainstorming process right with my supervisor. I felt like part of the attorney team and it felt very rewarding to be able to see how my work affected cases and clients.”Irina – CBJC 2019 InternCBJC PROJECTSPowered by JazzHRVvhDwYnuGI
