This is my first post updating myself after working at a firm for a month. i think the experience working at the firm might be different than my other coursemates who did their attachment at firms(selain Nurul and Eyn la, hehe. we attached at the same firm).
the first week was sooo nervous. don't know what to expect. will you get a good and cool boss? will the lawyers help you or not. with all the thoughts, entered into the office i was shocked. the files were piling up to the ceiling. i never went into a lawyer office before. that was my first time. and the office was soo big but no so spacious. there're 11 permanent staffs and 4 despatchs. given our own tables but i'm unlucky because i don't have my own table because there's no more empty spaces. so i hd to sit at the despatch boy table. huhu. i never thought that was the despatch boy's table as they are not always in the office (dh nm pn despatch.kui3). then, we met the boss, one of the partners in the firm (there're 3 partners in the firm and total of 6 lawyers and 1 chambering student). i was shocked once again. the boss was soooo good looking (there's no picture.sorry). hahahaha. he looked damn young, like early 40s. he welcomed us to his firm and gave us one file each to be read and have to tell him what's the next step to do with the case. first day, we already given a file!!! he asked what areas of laws that we already learned and whatnot. for the week we read the file and help the staff to do their work. i did some typing, like typing letters to clients which kinda fun because you cud see all the paper works and legal documents in the file. as i was doing under conveyancing, i kinda understand what we learned in land class. tgk title, strata title which is sooo big, duplicate charge, snp agreement and byk ag la. we didn't get to meet with the lawyers the first week as they were so busy.
2nd week - finally, we went out of the office. our first destination was the ampang session/magistrate court. we went with the chambering student, Kak Intan. although she's only a chambering student, we thought her as a lawyer already. we were supposed to go to an execution of distress at a premise. went there with other 8 attachment students at the court. then, later that afternoon we went to the kl court at jalan duta for the 1st time. the lawyers were forced to bring us to the court as asked by the boss (the handsome one,haha). we saw the system where case mention were done in cubicles and not in court. we always went out with Kak Diana, one of the lawyers in the firm and also Kak Intan. unfortunately, i don't hv their pics to put in here.
3rd, 4th, 5th week - we done a lot of typing work. e.g i hv to amend the judgment that have been approved by the court. and thats a lot coz thats for the old files. then, we were given two cases to think for the solution. firstly on bankruptcy. OMG! belum blaja ag kot. but the boss said its good so that you will have to make your own research. ok la fine. we discussed with each other and with other lawyers but we couldn't get any solution that can satisfy the boss.huhu. we did that case for almost 3 weeks and we still unable to satisfy him. until we have finished our attachment. sedih gler. 2ndly, on defamation. yg ni ok la. dh blaja, but there's not much info on the case so we have to do a lot of assumption to write him a legal opinion. we did this on our last day. kelam kabut gak la wat. tp wat je la. we also went to kl court on our own to make file search for the boss. we went there like everyday for two weeks just to make the one file search. then, we also went to public auctions with kak intan. it's fun to go auctions. hehe..
lot of funny things happened while working there but the funniest was when the boss asked us to join him for lunch. we were like... what?! why?! its not that we don't like our boss. its juz dat he's soo scary w/pn dia baik giler. he likes to ask questions that we don't expect. that's why we couldn't solve the bankruptcy case for him. everytime we met him to discuss or give him some solutions, he'll give us new questions that we never thought he'll ask. but he make you learn new stuffs. tu yg best la. back to the lunch story. its not him who tell us to join him for lunch. its one of the stuff and she said 'bos nak korg ikut dia pergi lunch'. i had panic attack immediately. nurul, suddenly said to me, " kalau naik kereta bos, aku xmau ddk dpn". i also said i don't want to sit in front wif him. then, we said to eyn, she has to sit wif the boss in front. she seriously also don't want. we even almost play osom to decide who will sit in front with him.hahahaha. then, we asked kak intan and kak diana whether they will follow us for lunch wif boss and they scared us by saying that they are not going. we all panicked. what should we do?? wat will we talk wif him? we were sooo panicked that the whole office knew we will go lunch wif the boss and we asked everybody in the office what will he asked, what he usually eats. luckily, we went out with him, another boss and three lawyers (kak sarah, kak diana and kak intan). and we ride in one car, all 8 of us. we were all calmed down when we saw kak intan and kak diana were with us at lunch. we went to eat arab food at damai. while eating, he didn't ask a lot of questions as we didn't really answer certain of his questions.haha. kesian dia. concentrate makan je la. this happened on our last week. i dunno whether this sounds funny but if you see our nervous and panic faces, it is sooo funny and we even launghed our stomach out.
its an experience working there and know all the staff there. dorg smua baik gila. btw, lupa nk gtau. kat ofis to cuma ada 2 org lelaki shj. the two bosses. yg despatch tu xkira la. yg lain smua staff dia perempuan.
basically, we learned a lot from the lawyers and i'm grateful that i wen there. i also learn how to ride the lrt. sblm ni punya la takut nak naik.
ni je dulu wat masa ni. t kalu ad igt ag tmbh ag. hehe. i'll post some pics later.
peace n out~
love, ajim
