Hello Joanna,

Since I'm just now getting started with my education in the legal field, I'm still not absolutely sure how I want to get involved. At this point I definitely see myself becoming a defense lawyer. However, I can also see myself working for the state in child welfare and domestic violence cases as well. At this point I'm really just looking forward to getting involved and learning as much as I can about the juvenile justice system and family courts.

My background in psychology is what inspired me to pursue this area of law, so I'm glad to hear from someone in your field as well!
