The External Liaison Committee ("ELC"), a committee under the purview of the Kuala Lumpur young Lawyers Committee ("KLYLC") embarked on its last visit for the year when the volunteer lawyers visited Taylor's University College ("Taylors") on 31.10.2009.
The volunteer lawyers that attended the workshop in Taylors were Lai Chee Hoe, Sandesh Kabir, Fam Yu Min, Kenneth Wong Poh Lim, Chan Kit Keong, Andrew Liew, Samuel, Choo Mun Wai, Aston Paiva, and Foong Cheng Leong.
The session, which was attended by over 30 first year law students, was lively and interactive. The session was opened by Sandesh Kabir delivering a short welcoming speech to the students explaining the objectives of the visit i.e. to manage their expectations in view of practicing law in future. The students were then segregated into different tutorial halls and the volunteer lawyers were dispatched into the respective halls to proceed with workshop agenda. During the workshop, students were welcomed to ask any questions related to chambering, practice, in-house practice, areas of laws, etc. This session lasted about one hour.
Subsequently, the students were ushered back into the main hall and were invited to give their feedback on the session. The feedback was positive and the students requested that the ELC visit Taylors again next year. Pursuant to all the positive feedback from the various Universities and Colleges visited this year, the ELC will continue in its efforts for the betterment of law students in Malaysia.
