Help with a quick question! THANKS!
I am trying to write a paper for college addmissions and I need help with a sentence. It's VERY important that I get it correct. (I know its such a simple question), but when do I use a semi-colon or a comma? Are these following sentences correct?
My duties at SCALS include drafting legal letters and pleadings; observing in court; client intakes; filing; and more. I have put myself in another environment that was new to me and excelled, enjoyed it, and learned so much.

Use commas where you have semi-colons. Sometimes you will use semi-colons in a list if the individual elements in the list have commas within them. ) There is no need for them in your sentence.
