Early Experiences

My first job after law school was working in the Corporation Counsel’s office, specifically the family court division. My boss was Judge Judy. She was not a judge at the time. She supervised the staff, and I was one of about five or six staff attorneys. We worked in family court, and we prosecuted juvenile delinquents. So basically, we were like Assistant District Attorneys, but we were prosecuting juveniles. The crimes we were prosecuting them for were petty larceny and token sucking.
