Rewards of an Internship
"Interning at Elsharnoby and Associates law firm during the spring/summer semester of 2017 was the greatest three months I have ever experienced. Not only did I intern with the best, but I also learned so many things. Working on family law cases and dealing with clients who needed legal help, was such a great experience for me because it finally made me realize what I really want to do in my life, which is to become a great lawyer in addition to building my way up to become a Judge.
"After this great experience, I came to realize that family law will be one of my specialties. To all future students who take this internship class, I encourage you all to use this opportunity very wisely and remember that the harder you work, the more you learn. Never give up, because at the end of the day, if we all take advantage of the various opportunities our amazing country provides for us, we will see the light of success, because after all, this country is the land of opportunities." – Said H. Bazzi
