On 21 March 2015, members of the KLBC Young Lawyers Committee (“KLBC YLC”) made their way to the
Lakeside Campus of Taylor’s University. The objective and purpose? To speak to
the first and second year law students on practising law in Malaysia from a
practitioner's point of view.
There were approximately 40 students who attended this event and we congregated
in one of the many lecture halls in Taylor’s University.
The participants were then broken up into groups of seven to eight to
facilitate informal discussions between them and the members of the KLBC YLC. Each group was accompanied and led by two to three
members of the KLBC YLC. Those sessions were then held in smaller seminar rooms
for approximately two hours.
During the informal discussions, the students seemed more comfortable
and at ease in such smaller groups which allowed better interaction between the
students and the members of the KLBC YLC.
At the end of the session, the participants were brought back to the
lecture hall for a debriefing. The Dean of the Law Faculty extended thanks to
the participants as well as members of the KLBC YLC.
We hope that the students enjoyed and benefitted from the session as
much as the members of the KLBC YLC did. Taking this opportunity, the members
of the KLBC YLC would like to extend their appreciation to Taylor’s University
for hosting us and taking the time to treat us to lunch.
