Interview A Prosecuting Attorney

Interview a prosecutor for your local District Attorney’s Office. Ask them to tell you about their educational background and why they decided to become a prosecutor. Ask them to explain or walk you step-by-step through a case, from receipt to disposition. Find out what kinds of challenges or hurdles they must face and overcome. Ask them if there was anything they could change about our current criminal justice system, what would it be? What advice would they give you about the career field you are interested in working in? Feel free to ask any other questions that are relevant to these topics. This paper must follow APA guidelines and be at least 4-6 pages in content (not including the title page or references page).
