It is my pleasure to summarise what I have gained from my internship\/ attachment \u00a0at Alex Chang & Co.<\/p>\n

Even though I could not spend a longer period of internship\/ attachment here, nevertheless my experience in Alex Chang & Co. was truly eye-opening. These experiences cannot be found by attending lectures or reading textbooks in Law school. The scale of this law firm is not big, as such, to my benefit, I was able to learn more and get personal attention from the lawyers.<\/p>\n

To intern (undergo an attachment program) \u00a0in a law firm is a preview of what lies ahead of students studying law. I learnt how to conduct research using the online research platform, such as the Current Law Journal “CLJ” online \u00a0and I was subsequently exposed to Malaysian authorities for the first time. \u00a0Also, I was taught to read the cases in full instead of merely obtaining the information from the headnotes.<\/p>\n

Apart from that the mundane reading of the authorities and files, I was exposed to practical training in various courts, for instance the High Court of Kuala Lumpur, the Seremban High Court, the Court of Appeal at Putrajaya, just to name a few. After a few visits to the Courts, I am now more familiar with certain Court procedures. I was shown how Submissions, Witness Statement were prepared and thereafter presented in Court.<\/p>\n

While I was watching the proceedings I observed that the Senior Judges can be harsh and unforgiving in words towards the counsel. Therefore, as a counsel, we have to be well prepared before appearing before them.<\/p>\n

On the practical side, I was shown skills unique to Malaysian lawyers, translation of documents.<\/p>\n

On the personal side, I was trained to be punctual and to observe the due dates during my entire internship\/ attachment experience so as to follow the rules of court to the letter. During my internship\/ attachment experience in Alex Chang & Co., I have learnt how to allocate my time on matters which are more relevant to my career in the near future.<\/p>\n

Lastly, I am sincerely gratuitous for this opportunity given to me to be an intern at Alex Chang & Co.<\/p>\n

It has been a few weeks since my Barrister Professional Training Course (BPTC) has commenced, and I must say that my attachment\/ mini pupillage\/ internship at Alex Chang & Co. has been most helpful in my studies.<\/p>\n

For example, my syllabus now revolves around witness statements, defence statements, default judgments and so forth.\u00a0 I am so grateful\u00a0 that I was exposed to these legal documents during my internship at the firm.\u00a0 As such, I am confident that this experience has put me ahead of my peers in class.\u00a0 Furthermore, it makes my course much more “relevant”\u00a0\u00a0 in the sense that I have seen and experienced how these documents actually work in the practical scene.<\/p>\n

One day, you are going to be in the class and think, “Oh, I’ve learnt that before!”.\u00a0\u00a0 It was such a privilege and truly an experience at Alex Chang & Co.<\/p>\n
