An Afternoon of Forensic Intrigue, Career Exploration, and Continued

Tuesday afternoon took an unexpected turn when interns were greeted with a shocking discovery: there had been a murder. Five of them, to be exact.

As interns stepped into Georgetown University's Intercultural Center, it was as if they had entered an entirely different world. Five immersive crime scenes awaited them, each with its own unique setting, including a poolside scene, a piñata room, a party, a billiards room, and a laboratory. Every room told a different story, and it was up to the interns to uncover what had happened. Working in teams, they searched for fingerprints, hair samples, documents, and other forensic evidence. The activity challenged interns to think critically, question every assumption, and recognize that even the smallest piece of evidence can make all the difference in solving a case.

Following the mock investigation, interns returned to their case teams to continue developing their IRAA motions. Applying the analytical skills they had just practiced, they reviewed evidence, refined legal arguments, and strengthened their advocacy for their clients.

The afternoon concluded with a Law Careers Panel featuring Scott Hulsey, Brian Levine, and Kevin Hagan, who shared insights from their distinguished legal careers. Scott Hulsey discussed his experience as a former senior Department of Justice official and federal prosecutor handling complex criminal investigations. Brian Levine shared how his career has spanned cybercrime prosecution, technology law, and cybersecurity consulting, highlighting the evolving role of technology within the legal profession. Kevin Hagan, Director of Federal Legislative Affairs at FAMM, spoke about his work advancing sentencing and prison reform on Capitol Hill and the impact lawyers can have through legislative advocacy.

By the end of the afternoon, interns had experienced both the excitement of solving mock crimes and the inspiration of hearing from accomplished legal professionals. The day's activities reinforced that whether investigating a crime scene, representing a client, or shaping public policy, every legal career begins with curiosity, critical thinking, and a commitment to justice.
