The Docket- The Children’s Law Center
During the week of July 22-26, 2013, two rising sophomores from Legal Outreach interned with Children‘s Law Center.
The CLCNY interns were Sherece Laine and Adenique Lisse. Be ow are some of their thoughts on the week.

mentor, Sena. She shared her story with me and told me that she worked extra hard
to be where she is today.

everyday life, especially if you want to be successful. Being driven and working hard
are key in a successful career.
