Utah Fourth District Court

This summer I was lucky enough to have two internships. The first was at the Utah Fourth District Court.

One perk about interning at the Fourth District Court: it's local (in Provo). I biked to work about half of the days, and it only took me 15 minutes.

Things I would recommend doing during your internship (if possible):
- Observe Drug Court and Mental Health Court. These are new programs that focus on rehabilitation and are unique from any other court hearing. I would highly recommend observing them to see how both justice and mercy are given through the court system.
- Tour the jail. If you haven't ever toured the jail before, I would highly recommend it. It's an eye opening experience.
- Help out with a jury trial. It was great for me to see the jury selection process and the different feel that a jury trial has as opposed to a bench trial.

I was sad to leave, mostly because of my great coworkers and the experience I had there. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested (following the proper application procedure, of course).

Rhetorically,
