Where do you want to work?

I am pursing a career as a paralegal for the sexual abuse attorneys  at Dalton and associates. Dalton and associates is large litigation law firm that has not only one office (located in Delaware) but another one right in the big apple (474 3rd ave New York, NY 10017). For over the course of 35 years, Dalton and associates have been granting salvation to clients who have experienced negligence in the work force, medical malpractice, civil rights injustices, sexual abuse and more. According to Dalton law, they have quite the experience in sexual abuse cases and have won hundreds of millions of dollars for victims including the settlement of $500 million in the Michigan State vs Dr. Nassar case. From prosecuting the archdiocese to doctors of the Olympics, they have worked all over the world to bring their clients to victory. I would like to work here because it is a family owned, well knit community dedicated to making sure that their clients are well compensated for the violation that they have suffered. Helping victims of sexual assault is important to me because it may help more victims to come out and be comfortable with telling their stories and seeking justice against their abusers.

Who Am I?

Hey guys, my name is Tyerrah Ramos and I am pursing a bachelors in Paralegal Studies. It took me a while to mentally get to this point, ever since I was little girl I always thought I would have a career in fashion. Whether it was modeling like the girls i saw on Victorias secret, or being an editor in chief of a high fashion magazine like Miranda Prisley, I just knew I would be a fashion mogul. Well after pursuing fashion for basically all of my life, I decided it wasn’t the job for me. I came to the realization that I could love fashion without working in the field. So I did a lot of soul searching and decided Law was the way to go. Even if I didn’t become a big time lawyer, knowing my rights and the way the law system works can help me better protect the people that I love. My family (being mainly hispanic and black) can sometimes be a target for social injustices and with my knowledge I can help to avoid that from happening as much as I can. Aside  from that I love song writing, spending time with family and friends, and reading.

Law In Culture

The Source I have chosen for my Law in Culture project is a film titled Just Mercy written and directed by Destin Cretton. The film is about a Harvard graduate lawyer named Stevenson who travels to Montgomery in an attempt to defend black people on death row who cannot afford proper representation. This film is a piece of non-fiction that was adapted by the memoir Just Mercy, created by attorney Bryan Stevenson who is also the protagonist in both film and book. I gravitated to the film more than the book because two of my favorite actors Michael B, Jordan and Jamie Fox play important roles in the film. I hope that with this film I will be able to dissect the law during the 80’s (where racism and sexism played a huge role) and compare it to the modern day law.
