off to work (not getting paid, though)

Date: April 16, 2003 | 13 Safar 1424 Hijriah
Blog: veiled4allah
Subjects: career, paralegal
I've been busy this week, hence the relatively light posting, but it's been worth it, al-hamdulillah.

As part of my Ethics class, we have to do 24 hours of volunteer work with an organization that works in some way to improve access to the justice system for the disadvantaged. Many of the opportunities are with organizations that provide pro bono (free) legal services, but there are several other interesting opportunities as well.

One of them is a project called Court Watch, which is part of the Racial Disparity Project being run by the Seattle public defender's office. The Court Watch project involves observing trials to monitor for racial bias or discrimination.

I start on Friday.

Sounds like a great bit of work to get into, not to mention some good real-world experience to get under your belt. A decade ago I was volunteering with the NW AIDS Foundation for about a year, and that was an invaluable experience for me.

By the by, what does "al-hamdulillah" mean? smile

Thanks, Catsy! smile "Al-hamdulillah" means "praise be to God". I've added a link to a glossary of Islamic terms on the main veiled4allah page.
