Blog 9 - Advisory Prep 3



1. State whether or not you currently have a mentor, and what the status of your interview is with that person (I have completed the interview, I have scheduled the interview, I have not scheduled the interview, etc).

I do have a mentor, her name is Noreen Barcena. She is an attorney, and works in her offices in East LA. I have not yet interviewed my mentor, but will be interviewing her soon. I have scheduled the interview for Friday the 23rd. 

Me everyday of the week.

2. At this point, your research is probably guiding your studies toward more specific areas within your topic.  Name the area or two you find most promising and explain your reasons.   


The criminal Justice system has always interested me. When we first began the senior project I was sure that I wanted to focus on the defense process. Now that I've thought more about it and started to research more into my topic. I am now starting to like the evolution of crime and punishment. I feel that this specific area of the criminal justice system is promising to me because in the end I'm going to find some sort of result. Also I feel like I can get a lot of feed back from people and what they think about the evolution of the criminal justice system. I'm excited to see what other people think about this particular topic.

3. What kinds of sources do you think will help you in the next month to gain more research depth?  Where will you go to get them?

I think that I will need to ask people who have experience in the criminal justice system to get a bit more of depth. I want the opinion of professionals and my peers so that I can compare and see what everyone is thinking. I can easily get my peers opinion, and I can also attempt to get in contact with professionals my mentor knows.

4. Write down a possible EQ.  Please don't worry about wording other than ensuring that it provides the option for multiple correct answers.  At this point, the senior team is most interested in understanding your thought process.
How has the criminal justice system evolved over the past one hundred years, and how has society been effected?
