The Sacramento County Conflict Criminal Defenders is a panel of attorneys who are responsible for taking cases that present a conflict for the Sacramento County Public Defender. As a certified legal intern, I worked in the misdemeanor courts of the Sacramento Superior Court under attorney supervision. My duties included interviewing clients, negotiating deals with the district attorney, speaking on the record, writing and arguing motions, and conducting necessary research.

Through this position I became familiar with Fair Housing law, landlord-tenant relationships and duties, and contract law in general.
