Legal Career Fair 2010

In 2009, 617 law graduates did their pupillage in various firms in Kuala Lumpur. There are about 2,061 legal firms in Kuala Lumpur. Many of these firms are constantly on the lookout for placement of new law graduates generally to start pupillage with them and to eventually serve the firm as qualified practitioners. The opportunity for legal firms to meet these potential law graduates and potential pupils and vice versa is limited. Hence, the Pupils’ Welfare Committee (PWC) is pleased to organise the 3rd Legal Career Fair to create this valuable platform for legal firms to meet potential candidates from the legal fraternity and vice versa.

This Fair will be held on 9 January 2010 at the Legend Hotel, Kuala Lumpur from 10.00am to 4.00pm. Local universities and 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. There are ample parking within and around the hotel vicinity. This year, 30 booths have been made available for rental by legal firms and 6 for corporate entities.

In conjunction with the Fair, the PWC has also arranged for special speakers to talk on various current topics of interest on Islamic / Corporate Banking, Civil Litigation, ICT-related, Medical Negligence and Criminal Litigation / Human Rights Activism at various time slots throughout the day at the Fair. This is to encourage participants to understand better the realms of practice.

We welcome you, the law graduates, pupils and practitioners to attend this Fair. Click here for a list of the participants.
