Blog 9 - Advisory Prep 3

SO-blogue-8-aout-EN.jpg

1. State whether or not you currently have a mentor, and what the status of your interview is with that person (I have completed the interview, I have scheduled the interview, I have not scheduled the interview, etc).
I have a mentor. He is the same mentor that I’ve had from the beginning. regarding the interview i have not scheduled it with him yet but I hope to interview him next week.

2. At this point, your research is probably guiding your studies toward more specific areas within your topic.  Name the area or two you find most promising and explain your reasons.   
Right now I’m looking into the chapters of the bankruptcy code that are used when a debtor is filing for bankruptcy. The Chapters I hear about most often is chapter 7 bankruptcy and chapter 13 bankruptcy. These are the types of bankruptcy most individual file for.

3. What kinds of sources do you think will help you in the next month to gain more research depth?  Where will you go to get them?
One type of resource that I think will be very helpful is a book that my mentor recommended to me. He has already shown me where I can find the book. He showed me a website that is used to find a lot of helpful resources on law so I plan to order it online.

4. Write down a possible EQ.  Please don't worry about wording other than ensuring that it provides the option for multiple correct answers.  At this point, the senior team is most interested in understanding your thought process.
What is the best way a bankruptcy lawyer can help his client?

Blog 6 - Advisory Prep

1. What has worked well for you concerning senior project this year?  What has made it a positive experience for you?  
Working with a mentor is working out pretty well. When I interviewed him I learned some pretty interesting things about how he feels about his career. He has been a very helpful to me and he has already done a lot for me.

2. What are you finding difficult concerning senior project?  How can you adapt to make that portion work better for you?  How might the senior team help?
I need to figure out a schedule that will allow me to visit my mentor more. I also need to figure out what else I can do for an independent component. In order to solve this I should talk to my mentor and figure out when are the best times to see him. I could also ask him about independent component ideas. regarding the independent component the senior team has already helped me with the mock trial. I’m not quite sure how the senior team can help with me seeing my mentor more.
