There were 617 law graduates who began pupillage in the year 2008. There are about 2,061 legal firms in Kuala Lumpur alone. Many of these firms are constantly on the lookout for placement for new law graduates and even opportunity to recruit new lawyers. The opportunity for legal firms to meet law graduates and potential pupils is limited and likewise for graduates and new lawyers meeting practitioners. The competition, undeniably, is stiff. With this in mind, the Pupils’ Welfare Committee (PWC) is pleased to organise the 2 nd Legal Career Fair to create a platform, hopefully to resolve these recurring employment problems as best as it can.   The Fair will be held on 17 January 2009 at the Legends Hotel, Kuala Lumpur from 10.00am to 3.00pm . Most major local universities and many private colleges have been invited to participate and attend the Fair. Entrance to the Fair is free and the hotel is easily accessible by public transport and there is ample parking within and aroun

Kindly take note that the 2nd Legal Career Fair organised by the Pupils Welfare Committee of KL Bar will be held at Legend Hotel at Putra Place, Kuala Lumpur on the 17th January 2009 (Saturday).
