New Interns!

The past few weeks we have welcomed two new interns into the Appellate Section, who already have learned so much and have amazing potential. When teaching the software or things you do around the office, make sure you put yourself back in your first week so you don't overwhelm them. Going over all of our responsibilities in one day wouldn't accomplish much because there's a lot of work that could get confused if it's not shown and then practiced. I like to show how to do it, then have them try it on their own and send me a copy. That way they can try it on their own right after instead of trying it a few days later when we might not be there to help if they have any questions. Bring them around the office, introduce them to people, show them the cafeteria. We just had a group lunch outing to Five Guys and it was great for the new Intern and us!

One thing that I do is keep a running list of helpful tips and such as I go along. This way it's easy to pass on my wealth of knowledge to the new interns.
