Lauren Scott

Maricopa County Attorney’s Office – Phoenix, AZ

How did you get your job?

“I got my job by just researching online into places I wanted to be for the summer along with the area of practice I would like to explore, specifically public interest law.”

Did your job change in a virtual workplace? How did you interact with your co-workers?

“Yes, I did my orientation on Zoom and worked from home for the entirety of my internship. I spoke with my immediate supervisor on the phone twice a week and kept up with other supervisors for different projects via email and phone calls when I needed a longer explanation or had multiple questions.”

How do you think this experience has helped you in your career path?

“I think this experience has helped me in my career path by helping me understand the case load of prosecutors and how rigorous trial work is done efficiently and correctly.”
