Pupil's Comments
What I have learnt so far:
1 Responsibilities
Learn to take the responsibility to any wrong/ errors
you have made and how to fix the errors...
2 Given ample of opportunities to learn, if you like
You will not be ‘spoon fed’ in this firm- my Master will
give you an opportunity for you to try to find the
solutions before him giving his opinion or directions to
solve the problems.
3 Guided by the Master first-hand
You will have the opportunity to be guided and learn
from your Master directly instead of learning from the
Legal assistants.
My Master will give me his opinion and comments on the
work I have done. For example, in research works-
you will be given an issue where you need to find the
relevant cases or law. Then you will be taught how to
analyse the facts and apply the law to the facts.
You will not run short of opportunities to attend high
court hearings (in Chambers) right after you have filed
your petition for admission and long before ‘short call’.
As far as I am concern, one cannot learn Advocacy skills
from a book.
4 Free English Lessons
Ha ha... 75% of the work is in the higher courts, it
enhances your grammar and vocabulary skills.
5 Colleagues
No ‘politics’ issue in this firm- colleagues are willing to
help each other.
