Pima County Attorney’s Office – Tucson, AZ

How did you get your job?  

I worked at the Pima County Attorney’s Office as a paralegal prior to attending St. Mary’s. I reached out to one of the attorneys I worked with during my time as a paralegal and he helped me get connected with the supervising attorney that works with the clerk program at the office.

What did you like most about your job?

I enjoy working with the attorneys and learning by observation. I’ve had the opportunity to not only do legal research and writing but observe them in the courtrooms and in meetings where they discuss cases and strategy with their fellow attorneys and staff.
