Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection
Content:
1. I am very proud of the fact that in my Lesson 2 Presentation, I was able to go into greater detail on my mentorship and what exactly my topic is, through the answer to my essential question. I felt that in addition to answering my essential question I was also able to give a greater understanding for what I love to do.
2. a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?
AE P AP CR NC
b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
I felt that my presentation had no issues with the different aspects of the rubric. Professionalism, Organization and Creativity, and Audience Involvement I felt were met in my presentation to at least the P level. The only aspect of the rubric that I feel that I did above P work in was in my Justification of Answer. I feel that the content I presented in my Lesson two was in depth and extremely detailed and beyond the expectations of the rubric. I feel I deserve an AE in that area.
3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
In my Lesson 2 Presentation I felt that explaining certain terms or processes as well as giving real life examples really helped my audience understand my presentation and preform the activity.
4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
I noticed that while I was explaining certain topics in my presentation the topic may have confused some people.Especially because these areas can be verbose and that often just confuses the audience. Perhaps next time I will try to incorporate more real life scenarios or examples so the audience can relate to the information I am presenting.
5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
The second answer to my EQ will most likely be, the best way for a lawyer to negotiate a transaction between two parties is through using clear and concise language,

Blog 12: Mentorship 10 hours check
1. I am doing my mentorship at a digital media company known as The Collective LA, under the head of the legal department.
2. My contact's name is Federico Blanco. He is my mentor and the person who notified me of possible internships at the company when senior year started.
3. Total I have completed 18 Hours and 55 minutes of mentorship as well as some hours from my independent component.
4. Summarize the 10 hours of service you did. Over the summer, my mentor took time to introduce me to the staff he worked with and some basic guide lines and regulations he worked with. Federico and I worked on drafting a contract for a client that was in the process of getting a new show air time on television. In addition, I sat in on multiple discourses and phone calls in which the finer details of contracts that were already about to be finalized were discussed and filed the appropriate paper work for those transactions.

Blog 11: Holiday Project Update
1. Unfortunately I was unable to meet with my mentor over break because he took time off to be with his family and was only at the office for a short period of time. In addition, his daughter was born over break so he and his wife spent most of their time with the baby. Although I did manage to meet with him a few days before break and that was when we were discussing the details and some of the finishing touches of my independent component.
2. From my discussion with my mentor and one of his associates that deals with the construction of contracts, I learned that having a clear and concise document is important but not as important as that document outlining your clients best interests. This refers to how the client will be perceived in the eyes of the public, how long this document would be in effect and of course a reasonable method of payment. My mentor and his associate used an example of a deal they made with one of their clients and Youtube, I can't state the exact details of the contract for privacy reasons, but in short the client felt like they weren't the same as when they started and ultimately lost their popularity,
3. I would definitely talk to my mentor as he is one of the people that deal directly with the clients as far as getting to know their interests, where they're willing to compromise with another entity and ultimately facilitating knowledge into a deal. In addition to my mentor, I would talk to another lawyer probably not from the same company to see if there are different answers to the questions or different methods.
