2022 District Attorney General’s High School Job Shadow Announced
The High School Job Shadow program offers students a front row seat to the prosecutor’s role in the criminal justice system. Students who demonstrate a strong interest in a career in criminal justice are selected to participate in the program. The experience allows students the opportunity to shadow a variety of professionals and learn about topics ranging from Criminal Justice 101 to white collar crime to human trafficking. They also observe court proceedings, including trials. An exciting incentive for students of the program is one-on-one time with prosecutors to discuss what they observed in the courtroom.
