Tuesday‚ I observed several preliminary hearings in Magistrate Court. Diana who is an Administrative Assistant interpreted during a case involving an individual who did not speak English. Generally‚ if a client is a Spanish speaker‚ she accompanies the Attorney to court to interpret. It was interesting to watch because it caused the hearing to be slower than usual‚ so she could have time to explain what was being said. That particular case was about identity fraud.

The first person to claim not guilty was charged with speeding

Earlier in the semester‚ I went to a common plea court and I was bored so I left. I had to wait until my dad found out when there would be a bigger court.
