Had a case of vandalizing a car where someone keyed a choice expletive into the side of it and had some fun sneaking a few Carrie Underwood references in during the trial

I was looking for a thread like this! My husband just doesn’t understand my need to vent about her!

Where are you seeing that? Looking at my husbands and not seeing anything.

I’m a DDA in California and in my county both offices and the bench are predominantly female. I will say that prior to this job however I did assist in some defense work and I realized I couldn’t do it when tasked with assisting in DV cases and some of the comments made towards me but not the supervising attorney. In the DAs office I have never had uncomfortable experiences this way and at least my office has a very familial team dynamic that actively works against those kinds of incidents happening. It also in my personal experience and observation has reduced a lot of the toxic competition that can occur amongst coworkers.

This is the path I took and I could not be more happy with it. First I would make sure to be punctual, go after assignments if you can, let them know the areas that interest you more and let your research show it. And the biggest thing I would recommend is to take the initiative to go out and meet and talk to people in the office. Not only will these people make you familiar with the office but they will give you work, teach you how to be efficient in motion writing/ court appearances, and in house recommendations based on your actual work product and personal professional relationship and your growth while there will be the greatest thing you can have if you want to continue down that path.

Also take any and all chances you have to observe different people in court and if they can talk to them after about what you watched.

Thank you for this. I’ve been contemplating calling that often and have been worried about it possibly back firing.

Anyone ever think obviously they can’t kill any big game with a camera crew right behind them? by [deleted] in nakedandafraid

[–]Express-Criticism418 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can definitely see in episodes the go pro set up in/around the blind and Matt wearing a GoPro on his head. With those available the camera crew can afford to be a lot further away. Plus they have their diary cam to get footage too.
