Wk 1 – Learning from the Professionals

This assignment provides you an opportunity to learn from someone directly involved in
criminal law. Watch or read an interview with the goal to learn something new and correct
any of your misconceptions about criminal law.

You have an interview for a position as a paralegal with a local law firm. As part of your
preparation, you want to learn about criminal law from the perspective of an active
participant, so you are looking on the internet for a video or written interview to help you
better understand this area of law. You are seeking as much help as possible to be
prepared to answer questions posed in your job interview.

Locate and review a written or taped interview that was conducted with either a judge,
attorney or prosecutor active in criminal law.

Write a 350- to 525-word summary of your reflections from the interview. Address the
following questions:

• What did you learn? (For example, consider what you may have learned about
criminal law, the concept of crime, and criminal liability.)

• What surprised you?

• What impact did the interview have on your views of criminal law? What views were
reinforced? Were any of your perspectives changed?

• In answering these points, be specific as to what was said in the interview

Cite the source of the interview. The name and title of the person interviewed must appear
in the body of the paper. There must also be in-text cites referring to the source of the
interview and a source listed in the reference section.

Format your summary according to APA guidelines in a Microsoft Word document attached
to the assignment tab.
