WHAT IS ISM • ISM stands for Independent Study Mentorship. Each student has to select a mentor to shadow for at least one semester. The students are required to spend at least 3 hours a week with their mentors and keep an activity log. At the end of each semester the student is required to give a presentation about what they learned to three professionals in positions related to their mentorship. The goal of ISM is to help high school students get a better idea of what their future career could be or help them decide what they want to do as a career.

PROJECT TOPIC
For my project topic I decided to study what goes on in a normal trial. Since the vast majority of people will never step into a court room for a trial I hope that my project can help explain the in’s and outs of an average trial.
KEY POINT ONE – HOW DO YOU END UP IN COURT • Key Point One – How do you end up in court • Commit a crime • Get caught by the police
• Don’t plea or get a dismissal • Fight the charge in a court of your peers
KEY POINT TWO – HOW DO YOU GET REPRESENTATION • Advertisement by mail, billboard, or pamphlet/flyer • Word of mouth • Internet research • Court appointed public defender

KEY POINT THREE – WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU GET REPRESENTATION • Discuss next steps in case • Take the charge to court
• Select a jury • Prepare for the fight

KEY POINT FOUR – WHAT HAPPENS IN COURT • Who is in the court room • What do the people in the court do
• What are the procedures of the court • What happens if something goes wrong https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GGRV_enUS809US809&tbm=isch&q=jury&chi ps=q:jury,g_1:cartoon:CfHnG7fMJfI%3D&usg=AI4_kTYdKAwTsmg0PLh8CYnWKbcu0xQCg&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwii5f3Ep9_gAhXomq0KHb bsAUAQ4lYIKigB&biw=1366&bih=625&dpr=1&safe=active&ssui=on
KEY POINT FIVE – THE BIG DECISION • What happens if you win • What happens if you lose • Mistrials and other rare possibilities

PRODUCT SLIDE • My final product is going to be a timeline of the most common events in a trial. I am going to make this timeline by attending court with my mentor and by doing research on the internet. As a last resort I will go to a random trial as they are open to the public.
RESEARCH • For my research I plan on reading a book my mentor gave me, do internet research and watch documentaries in order to figure out the worse case scenario that can happen in trial gone wrong
CURRENT EVENT
https://www.google.com/search?q=el+chapo&rlz=1C1GGRV_enUS809US809&sour ce=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwilq7buy9ngAhWSxIMKHSwYATEQ_AUIDy gC&biw=1366&bih=625&safe=active&ssui=on#imgrc=HeWNRWLyxbI24M
• For my current event I chose to took into El Chapo’s criminal trial. This court case gives a good example of what kind of personal information can be exposed and how no aspect of a defendants life is protected from the jury. It also details the violence and paranoia of El Chapo during the time when he was the leader of the Sinaloa cartel.
CONCLUSION • Overall this semester of ISM has taught me a lot. My dad was a police officer for twenty-five years so I learned how police officers do their jobs in arresting criminals and sending them to jail. Being able to learn what a defense attorney does to try and prevent people from serving jail sentences is opposite to the environment I have grown up in, and it really opened my eyes. I have developed a greater sense of understanding in what goes on in a courtroom and disproved many of my preconceived misunderstanding for the better.
• Thank you Mekisha for being a wonderful mentor and taking time teach me about your career • Thank you Mrs. Click for always helping with assignments and being flexible.
