1 Marina Wong, Brickfields Asia College, 3 months
attachment.
2 During my attachment period in ACC, it has taught me that to
be a litigation lawyer in near future, a lot of efforts, time management
and a broad mind of thinking is needed. It has also taught me to be
meticulous, careful thinking and must ensure able to react fast, smart
and correct. I was also exposed to a lot of court hearings. I am also
glad that I am given the chance to practice and learned to do
skeletal submission. It has been a tough task in order to produce a
good submission, but what I am very glad is that guidance and
patience were given to me. During my attachment here, it has also
taught me the importance team work and co-operation with
colleagues.
3 The most interesting in the course of my attachment is that I
am very glad I am given the chance to attend court hearings and this
includes even in chambers hearings when I have no loans to attend
but permission were granted. One of my most interesting hearing is
the case of KGW full trial which involves 16 lawyers and appearing
before honourable Dr. Badariah. I was exposed to the proceedings
in open court and in chambers. It was a fun and good experience to
see counsel arguing and presenting their laws and facts. In
furtherance, a good experience was appearing before Dato’ Kang in
a cross-examination case. The opportunity of court proceedings
were given widely. I have also learnt that when presenting
submission, must be very focus and firm with your point. I have
experienced during in a open court case, judges would questioned
counsels if counsels unable to deliver their firm points. For example,
in a case where the judges questioned counsels “show me the
money!” and counsels were unable to do so. In furtherance, I have
also learnt that court procedural is of absolute importance to be
followed. When you are in court room and appearing before the
judges, we must be alert and well caution. I’ve experience in another
case where judge can be very strict and “in moods” where the
particular judge told the counsel to “sit down and shut up” when he
was trying to explain to the judge what the witness were saying.
4 The most memorable experience during the attachment is to
have helpful, jovial and friendly colleagues. Whenever I am not sure
with the task given to me, my colleagues are always willing to help
me and find solution. I still do remember when I was hospitalised, my
colleagues were very concerned and caring. They do check on my
daily health progress by sms-ing me and call to ensure everything
are under control. I am very glad to have a understanding, caring
and concern employer. When I got back to work after the 2 weeks of
hospitalisation, I was worried I could not catch up with my workloads.
But however, such worries were pointless as my colleagues were
very helpful to help me with my workloads and my employer, Mr.
Chang were very understanding where he did not put me under
stress and pressures and always constantly ensure I am able to
cope with works, studies and in good health.
I am glad to have a very understanding employer and helpful
colleagues.
5 The advices given to me would definitely be helpful and very
good. Mr.Alex never give up guiding me, correcting me and teaching
me the proper legal work proceedings. With such knowledge,
advices given and the guidance would definitely help me especially
when I proceed to do my chambering in near future.
6 The staffs here are caring, dedicated, helpful and jovial.
Whenever I need assistance, they are always ready and be there to
help me out. I am very thankful to have all the wonderful colleagues
who will never reject to help and assist me.
7 My experience in ACC especially with the legal paper work
proceedings are similar with my fellow classmates. However, they
were not given the chance to attend court hearings. I am very glad I
am given such opportunities to be exposed to such legal
proceedings.
8 It teaches me to be careful with work, be meticulous and the
exposures in ACC taught to think in a Broadway. It has been a great
pleasure and thankful to ACC for giving the chance and providing
me with a platform to learn. The work has been challenging and
productive and I throughly enjoyed with the firm, fine staffs and
professionals. I will definitely miss my associates
here.
9 It is of well-importance to ensure to be alert and know how to
change according to circumstances to avoid ‘contempt to court’. It
has been a real great experience to be exposed with such
experiences and different court scenario as how many of
“Attachment” student would be given such opportunity compared to
chambering students. My attachment in ACC was only for 3 months.
From this great 3 months, I’ve really learned and has widened up my
state of thinking to be alert, mature, caution, meticulous and be a
hardworking person. It is not easy to find a good and willing to teach
master. Opportunities, chances, exposures and the willing to teach
are founded in ACC. It has indeed gave me good experience in this 3
months of experience.
