Working for the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office

I'm a legal intern with the Multnomah County DA and loving almost every minute of it. The moments I don't love are when I say something ridiculous in front of a judge because I'm caught off guard when s/he asks for a release argument, and when the court clerk chases me out of JC4 and tells me I've gone behind her back when I thought I was just doing what my boss told me. Also, I apparenlty can't jaywalk within 6 blocks of the courthouse in a suit. This amuses me greatly, but also saddens me since jaywalking enhances my sense of Portland pride. Alas, the pursuit of justice comes as a cost (don't forget to include suits, parking, and expensive downtown lunches).
