Pupillage Attachment & Internship Programs, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
In Malaysia, many young lawyers who are reading their undergraduate law degree like to join the legal firms as attachment students to gain exposure. After graduation and completing the bar vocational course/ certificate in legal practice, as the case may be, they will read in the chambers of a master as a pupil (or a chambering student).
These are the Admission Requirements prepared by the Bar Council and you may also find the Pupillage Handbook published by the Kuala Lumpur Bar Committee useful.
At Alex Chang & Co we offer pupils in chambers and attachment students a unique opportunity to undergo their Pupillage (or Chambering as it is also known as locally), the pupils can take advantage of the size of our office to experience many tasks ‘hands on’. All pupils will have to go through a short period of assessed mini-pupillage for the benefit of the pupils and the firm. To apply please click here.
Law students from various universities are welcome to undergo a short attachment or internship or mini-pupillage during their holidays. One attachment student/ Mini-Pupil Peggy San commented:
Peggy San …Besides work we had much fun during the attachment with the colleagues in various social settings like karaoke, roadtrip to Penang, farewell dinners, not forgetting also the ‘celebratory’ dinners with the clients. It surely and definitely strengthened our friendship and heightened the togetherness in us, creating a happy community to work in…
…I have mentioned this to Mr Alex Chang, the training made me an inch further from being a daddy’s girl and I am proud to be where I stand now…
Kenny Lau‘s comment:
Kenny Lau Thai Yik …It’s not just about learning to do legal work, it’s also about observing day-to-day running of a legal business.
It’s fun and thrilling to have worked with a great corporate lawyer and been able to observe real trials in court. A lot of law students fascinate to join big law firms for the sake of the feeling of approval, or admiration. But too often, as I heard and saw from the experience of my peers, they’re tied with office work, and often deprived of their much needed real-life experience in observing court trial, or their communication with their bosses are too often impersonal, which deprived them of the opportunity to clear some doubts about the mystified workings of law firms…

从2016年3月21日起,我在张大律师楼开始了一个知识性的,开阔视野的,开心的,一个月职场实习。 在这一个月时间内,我尝试了许多新的体验与事务。例如,自己去从未去过的地方办事,呈交文件,做案件更新等等。这不但没有使我感到恐惧,反而使我下决心,一定要把事情做好。 在这,张大律师采用的教导方式有别于其他的律师楼。 他会尝试让他的学生们先寻找答案或解决方案, 然后他才更改学生们的错误并加以解释和引领到对的方向。 他也慷慨大方的分享他的法律知识和人生经验,例如,在律师公会演讲时,庭内各种经验在其口中,生趣盎然各显其秀, 使得演讲不再苦闷,学生也因此吸收更多的资讯。我从中获益良多。 张大律师非常着重专业操守。作为一名专业律师,对公义,法庭,客户,对方的法律代表得负起的专业责任。张大律师为法律界人士作出了一个很好的榜样。他对法庭的尊重,专业地处理客户的案件完全体现出他的专业操守。他也常提醒我必须遵时及明白指示。 这是专业操守的一部分。 在一次案件管理中,我有机会目睹有位年轻的律师无视专业操守而自享其果的好例子。这事件充分地教会我甚至其他律师们,一个专业律师除了有责任为客户争取最大利益,他还必须尊重法庭及对方的法律代表。 律师的责任在于协助法庭或法官达到公义和公正的判决。在对方的法律代表还没在场前与没有介绍对方的法律代表,那年轻的律师已开始表态了,这是无视专业操守的行为因为这行为如同剥夺公平审讯的机会。在要求时间延长时,他也显得很无礼及没有合理与详细地解释申请理由。基于他的无礼,司法常务官不许可他的申请并教导他须要有礼貌地回答。 除此之外,这律师楼还有许多值得大家学习的地方。其一员工们的尊重与合作。在这大家都乐意互相帮助,一起讨论问题并提议解决方案。这完全体现出大家的合作精神。在这的员工也乐意给予我不同的知识以让我办起事来更加得心应手。我从而发现工作也可以变得不再如此苦闷,而大家的热心和帮助使我感觉到他们是我的朋友而不是一般苦闷的工作伙伴。 我们经常一起准备食物和一块儿用餐。 用餐时,我们不忘天南地北以增进我们的感情。有时,我们还会有饭后点和娱乐。我们也一起庆祝员工们的生日,一块儿唱生日歌和享用蛋糕。在此,我感谢你们为我而设的庆祝让我觉得你们诚心的关爱。 我再次感谢大家的热心的帮忙与包容。如有什么无心的冒犯,请接受我真诚的道歉。 也感谢大家给与我一个快乐的回忆。 龙威豪,Liong Wai…An Eye Opening Attachment Internship Wan Guan Hui
