leib10New trial prosecutor
Hello all,
I will be starting as a misdemeanor trial prosecutor in the next few weeks. I previously clerked in the appellate division of another DA's office, but it's been some time since I've seen the inside of a courtroom. I have just a couple questions about some stuff I may need to get beforehand:
1. How many suits should I have, assuming that I'm going to be in the courtroom every day?
2. Should I have my own laptop, assuming my office does not provide one for work-related purposes?
3. Are there any other pieces of equipment or clothing items I should have that I'm not thinking of?
Thanks!
