  Jacksonville 4th Judicial Circuit Teen Court

  Mar 2018 - Aug 2019

  Prosecutor

  •As a member of the Teen Court program, I serve as a defense attorney or prosecutor hearing teenage cases and arguing them in front of Duval County Judges.

I would represent a variety of students in the Duval County juvenile system, from both middle and high school. I would meet the parents of the students to discuss their interpretation of the events being argued and their preferred sentence. •The organization of the trial would be opening statements, defendant statements, questioning from the jury, closing statements, deliberation, and finally the handing down from the jury, much like an actual court proceeding.
