    Recommendations to Improve Court Services

         From my observations, the courtroom and the offices of the prosecutors


    and public attorneys should be more spacious. Every bit of space available
    has been utilized and the crowded conditions deprived officials and their
    subordinates of reasonable comfort for a healthful and efficient work.
    Therefore, I would like to recommend that those offices and courtrooms be
    bigger and more spacious.

            Though a lot of programs are currently being implemented to eliminate


    congestion of court dockets until now it is still a major concern. The
    unreasonable delays in criminal proceedings, particularly those involving
    serious matters, the untimely disclosure of evidence and the lack of robust
    case and case flow management by the judiciary is also a factor
    contributing to delays. The need for judges to improve case management,
    such as by imposing deadlines and challenging unnecessary adjournments
    may help with the delays. With the programs dealing to lessen congestion
    of court dockets i recommend for the following to be also taken into
    consideration to help with the delays. 
        1. The need to implement best practices in case management and case
    flow management by the judiciary to reduce the number of unnecessary
    appearances and adjournments that contribute to delays. 
       2. The need to implement best practices and better procedures with
    regard to trials as well as alternatives to or diversions. 
       3. The need to develop suitable technologies and make them available to
    modernize court procedures and infrastructure.
     Observations Noted During the Internship

           The first thing I noticed when I entered the courtroom is that it


    was small and congested. I imagined the courtroom to be bigger,
    but it was not. There is a divider between where the public sit with
    those involved with the legal proceedings. The opposing attorneys
    all sat at the same table and barely had room to lay out all their
    notes and papers. The space allocated for court visitors we're
    limited and there was not a lot of space to maneuver.

            The offices of the prosecutors and public attorneys also lack


    space and it's crowded. When interviewing witnesses and clients,
    there is a limit on how many persons can come in the others
    would have to wait outside until they are called.

          The court visit provided me with an informative view of the


    practices of judges and lawyers as well as their interactions with
    the public. The judges have different styles on how they conduct
    cases same also with the lawyers, they have different ways on
    how they present their cases and evidence. Despite the presence
    of conflicting parties, all legal professionals appeared keen and
    enthusiastic to work together and ensure that the work was
    carried out in the most effective way possible. In addition to giving
    me insight into the processes of the court, it also revealed some
    of the negative aspects of our legal system this includes the
    frequent delays in the processing of cases and the congestion of
    court dockets.
    Importance of Legal internship

        Legal Internship provides an opportunity for students to


    increase their knowledge of substantive areas of law and to gain
    exposure to a real work environment. The law students also gain
    valuable insights into the professional lives of attorneys and
    judges.

        Legal internship is important as the students get to apply the


    things they learned in class and with it they'll have a better
    understanding of the areas that they lack and needs
    improvements. The challenges they'll meet will enable them to
    assess their knowledge and to better themselves in their assigned
    tasks and duties.

         Through legal internship the students get to follow procedure


    in a legal setting, work on cases, do research and draft
    documents. It is through the internship that they will encounter the
    things taught to them regarding the provisions of the law, the legal
    principles and doctrines.
