By Carrie Ramage ’17
My name is Carrie Ramage. My major is Sociology-Criminology. I am now a senior at Ohio University.
Over the summer I interned for Common Pleas Judge Pat Lang’s office at the Athens County Court House.
Pictured with me in this photo are case files I pulled for just one week of cases that the Judge was to oversee in the courtroom.
Case files hold all of the court related papers in a defendant’s case, such as when they were arrested and what they are being charged with.
I loved this opportunity to see a possible career choice with my major. Everyone I met was very helpful in teaching me how the court works.
I am still undecided about what career path I want to take after graduation, but am grateful to have had a glimpse at the different possibilities in court and a courthouse.
I finished the summer with a better understanding of the hearings that are occur in the court house.
