Small kid finished legal attachment

Posted by Samantha Chai at 16:47:00 Read our previous post

Well,currently I am having my semester break after three months of working.Actually it cant be said as 'working'.The formal word given by our Uni is 'legal attachment'.However, due to the common practice that most of the legal firm would pay some allowance to attachee, so here comes the description as working.For me,I got zero allowance from my legal firm.What I got from this firm is just a Lexis Nexis legal planner from the librarian,but still better than nothing la hehe.She just passed me the 'souvenir' in a very sudden way,till I just accepted it and said thank you in a very weird tone,freaking weird I think.By the way, as I said before, the giving of allowance is actually meant nothing for me,the utmost importance should be the entire process of it.

somehow,I miss the time of doing opinion writing.

MKCJ office which looks like a clinic.

So basically,this post will be talking about bits and bites of my legal attachment. But still,I am facing dilemma on how to start to write. What and how should I write?It is just like how dilemma am I on doing my final report.K la,I'll just vomit out what's popping out from my mind though...Life in Maxwell Kenion Cowdy & Jones (MKCJ) actually was fun. Working in a big firm really needs courage to take initiative.It is because there is no one will guide and teach you what to do in the firm.From the first day I stepped into the partner's office, he just told me that he will not guide me.That means I have to find thing to do in my own way.As a result, I just ended up my first day in the firm to read books in the firm's library.The time spent with books like pretending to be a bookworm was ended after my external supervisor-Mr.James Ong came and picked Suit Yee and me to be his personal assistant.Our first job was to do some research on his cases.So,my three months time was more on litigation job and I am totally dumb in conveyancing job.

Litigation job is none other than doing pleading,affidavit,research,various of examinations.As a student,as my knowledge in procedure area is limited,I can't help much in that.Besides that,I was adapted myself in some administrative work such as drafting letter,but I think almost every single letter I drafted have been amended by the lawyer.Photocopy documents where I think I have wasted the firm's paper like my dad is the paper's supplier.Sometimes,I will feel that I was such a stupid as I was so clumsy in photocopy/printing documents.Just too many mistakes such as pressed the setting of the machine wrongly,printed the documents from the wrong tray and etc bla bla...Attending court can be considered as my usual work,I will go to court at least twice in a week.The reason why can we attending court so frequent was because the distance between the court and our firm is just stone throw away.Sometimes for filing of documents,hearing,making payment,getting documents from particular officer and passing documents.Almost 80% of those attending court's work are actually dispatch work.However,as a student,I just have to learn every single little work including dealing with court officer.Dealing with them is definitely not an easy one.You have to recognize the various faces of them and understand their role.I used to wait at the wrong kiosk and wasted my time.Of course,they used to 'show face' to me where I still have to talk to them softly provided with smiling face.What can I say?That's life of a lawyer and I think no one can escape from this stage.

Let's talk about the people I met in this firm.I was so lucky that I met a number of MMU seniors at here.Just feel so surprise that there are MMU students everywhere.We used to spend time in the library to gossip,fool around as well as 'curi tulang'.Haha...

My colleagues.Left out the most diligent one- Ong Ki.

Our supervisor,James Ong who likes to gelar sy and me as 'kids'.

Making retarded act with our supervisor.

Ashvin/MMU senior/crazy woman

Too bad I couldn't take photo with all of them personally.By the way,I believe that we will still meet up one day.

Now,it is not the time for me to miss this and that,nor dedicate whatever.I have to chase my time in order to complete my final report.Why la need to do final report?I still want to lepak-lepak=(
