Hie Txi,

I am currently a final year law student in an UK uni.
Is it okay for me to pm you for some guidance as well? =)

Cheers =)

Hi I was wondering where should one do an attachment at, any suggestions?

hi.

anyone can suggest me where to do "attachment"?

i need to do at least 6 months attachment before continue my LLB.

im from around shah alam.

Hi guys, I am looking for internship in a legal firm within Kuala Lumpur. Any
ideal suggestion? I am totally new to this and your advice is very valuable to me. Thank you very much ^^

I just passed my BPTC (what a course lol) and coming back to Malaysia soon after the call to the bar on 30th July.

Now I am worried about my future as I basically did nothing other than attending classes. I got a 2:1 for my degree and competent for my BPTC. That said, my result is not exactly impressive as I failed once in my first year and failed twice in my second year because I was a game addict. I managed to wake up and work hard for my third year and got a 2:1 for my degree and also passed my BPTC in one sitting.

Any advice? I really regret that I didn't study hard since the beginning but what is the use for regrets now?

first congratulations on your success for passing the BPTC..in comes to work environment..just follow the flow in your place..then everything should be fine..not worry to much of what your have or not have learn..this is where you gain experience..

i dont even know if i am able to find a job given the interesting transcript that i have

is there any different in your transcript..in terms of works..if you can do what the employer ask..it just ok..

because of the number of failed subjects i have and they wouldn't know if i can do the jobs during the interview (if i make it to the interview)

LOL
No worries, my boss didn't even bother to look at my transcript. The entire interview was only 5 minutes. He flipped through my CV and he said, "Okay, I'm fine with the salary that you have requested (Since I put it in my CV), welcome to our firm !"





Tadaaaaaaaaaaa ~

you worry too much..keep calm..just convince them..then is ok..in work areas..employer just want to know whether you can do your work or not..some of them..they even didn't ask what is your CGPA..this is the time you gain your experience..the cert is just a requirement..

Legal practice ? Thanks.

Law firm in Singapore.

Are you a M'sian practicing Laws in S'pore ? Thanks.

practice in singapore?..what is their requirement there?..

Legal Exec in Singapore. Can't practice here as I do not have a so-called "FULL degree" in UK (According to Singapore Law Society).
Mine was twinning UK program (2years in Malaysia 1year UK).
No point retaking the whole legal course (3years) just to practice here in Singapore.

FULL 3 years of legal studies in UK (recognized universities by Singapore Law Soc) or in Singapore.

Thanks for answering. How long did you practice before you moved to S'pore ?

Null. Put my head into Singapore right after I finished my Uni life.
Furthermore, just FYI, working / practice experiences in Malaysia = irrelevant in Singapore.
They don't bother to look @ which firm were you from and so on.
I have colleagues with practicing certificates from UK BAR and CLP Msia, chose not to practice in Malaysia but settle themselves with current legal exec position.

THE POWER OF 2.5 (SGD currency exchange rate)

so your job is more on conveyancing or on litigation?..kinda have a thought to work in SG..seems jobstreet have more offer now..

Doing litigation currently.
Getting bored with WOS, defence and etc.
Planning to do in-house on my next job.

Well, SG is a good place to kick start your career. More opportunities for you to make use of what you have learned in the past. Unlike mere conveyancing work in Msia (at most).
