Bang!Zoom! Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I don't have the first clue. I think a very brief job shadow (law) might be interesting for the kid. Any ideas to share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Do you know any lawyers? Kids have asked to shadow dh (usually high school age, though), and he loves it. Just ask somebody you know. If you don't know anybody, maybe some friends would know of someone who wouldn't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in OH Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Call your local bar association if you don't know someone personally. There will be a couple of challenges to shadowing a lawyer, though. First, due to confidentiality, your ds wouldn't be able to sit in on any meetings/phone calls with a client. Lawyers also spend a lot of their day reading and writing--boring to watch. Finally, your ds is only 8(?), and that is pretty young for a job shadow. I would suggest sitting in on a session of open court if your ds is interested in law. It also supports a nice American government lesson on the branches of government.....
