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.MKCJ office which looks like a clinic. |
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 |
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=(
