Lagal Career Convention

Ang had follow me along so I would have a companion during the trip, since most of my classmate are not going to take part regarding that most of the firm that join the conference are located in KL area. And yes that is the only issue holding me back, still I linger on with the trip. Not much student had participate, most of them are first year student, and thanks to this, I had the chance to associate with my fellow junior and colleague. The conference started around 9:30, and we are right on time. For the first few session there's talk of from the Bar Council, where student may get the idea of what is BC and what require for the admission to the Bar. As for me, I was busy searching and query on every law firm seeking vacancy for my internship. Few renowned law firm have participated in, e.g Shook Lin & It's my 5th semester in the law course, and I had not at any time engaged myself in legal learning employment or practice. That goes the same with most of my classmates. And with Mr Priya around to keep urging us to obtain our attachment letter in order to acquire recommendation from lecture in University application, I got no choice but to start seeking for a convenient firm. And it so coincidence that there will be a Legal Career Conference on the week itself, the venue was University of Malaya Law Faculty. Without much hesitation, I invite AngBok, Thomas Phillip, Michael Chai & Co, Albar & Partner, Sreenevasan Young, Azman Davidson & Co etc. And what surprised me is that even auditor firm had participated in like KPMG, one of the biggest accountancy firm in Malaysia. I've enjoyed the talk from Thomas Philip and Shook Lin, Thomas Philip is a firm whereby they only major in litigation, and they only focuses exclusively on dispute resolution and is geared to become the foremost litigation firm in Malaysia. They also invite some Human Rights NGO. It's Concurring that I was able to bump into Evelyn, my form 6 friend who is currently doing her 2nd year law in UM. Hereinafter, we invite Marisa to come over to Law Faculty to have some chat. Evelyn was doing well, and from the way I notice, Evelyn would more likely enter conveyancing or corporate field, who would prefer to be low profile, and speaking of corporate, yea I have a wild dream on it. Before the leave, we drop by to the cafe near Law Faculty to have some beverage. And later following lunch counter at McDonald. Well that's how the Conference go, meeting the learned lawyer, experience how a chambering student or fresh legal practitioner would have require. Indeed it's worthwhile.
