"...observe the attorneys and how court functions at Havre City Court, Justice Court, and District Court. Observing court functions is an invaluable experience but also provides insight into how law enforcement, the courts, and corrections all work together. I also had the opportunity to meet with offenders in the county jail and to review with them some of the evidence that law enforcement had against them." and "Other advantages to working at OPD included insight into the Hill County Adult Drug Court. This was a unique experience that offered an opportunity to see how the Justice Court, OPD, Chemical Dependency, and the Probation & Parole Office all coordinate their activities."
