Sloan Freeman
Storyboard Text
- Hi, my name is Sloan Freeman. I am a criminal lawyer, and I'm about to show you a typical working day for me.
- Let's get straight to the point, I'm a busy woman. I'm 32, went to Yale Law School, had an internship with the DA of Washington DC, and now I'm working for the DA in Boston.
- Working in Boston means I'm extremely busy, since we have almost 700,000 people living here. Let me show you the top three things I do every day.
- If I don't start my day off in court, the first thing I do is go and talk to my coworkers. We discuss upcoming cases, strategic plans, and give advice. This helps everyone because we can bounce ideas off each other.
- The second thing I do is go back to my office and review my cases I am currently working on. I will prepare briefs, make phone calls to other lawyers, check my email, and check to see if the DA has anything specific for me to do.
- Lunch break, lawyers have to eat too.
- One of the activities I do that puts me at risk is visit clients in jail. Usually I don't have to worry about safety, but you always have to be alert because you never know.
- One last thing that I do at least daily is hit our library. I do this because it helps me learn more about cases and gives me ideas and refreshers. I study and read about cases that are similar to the ones I have at the moment.
- Usually my days are very diverse, but I wanted to give you three constant things I do every day as a criminal lawyer. The working day is over for me now!
- Thanks for tagging along with me today!
