Oklahoma Indigent Defense System Practicum Reflection

I will be recommending this practicum site to anyone who mentions being interested in law. It is a truly great feeling to know I am helping the OIDS team with a case in a meaningful way. I was able to put my hands on materials and go through documents just as a real investigator would. I wasn’t sitting in some corner of a room watching people work, I was actually doing the work. After my presentation with the team I was told many times how helpful my work was. It leaves a college student with no experience in the criminal field feeling like they actually helped make a difference. I know this of course is for school credit and to etch closer to graduation, but I love that the FSI gives us this chance. The chance to see the real world. The world that isn’t hypothetical scenarios and hypothetical crimes. It is a chance to see what life is like beyond UCO.

Practicum with the Oklahoma Indigent Defense System

“Overall, I think working with Oklahoma Indigent Defense System was a great opportunity as I got to apply myself, practice what I learned, and get a better in depth look into the defense system. I would definitely recommend this practicum to other students who are looking to learn more on the legal system.”
