Report on KL Bar Young Lawyers Committee 2nd Meeting for the term 2010/2011

24 April 2010, Saturday – The KL Bar Young Lawyers Committee (“KLYLC”) held its 2nd meeting for the term 2010/2011 at the swanky service apartment, The Ascott. Against the backdrop of the KLCC Twin Tower and the numerous construction sites around it, The Ascott proved to be an ideal venue for the young lawyers to meet and brainstormed fresh ideas for the next term.

Attended by more than 25 young lawyers, the meeting was held for more than 2 hours. Among the programmes and events to look out for are University Visits by the young lawyers and the much-anticipated Charity Night. With so many ideas that range from “pub golf”, game night, traffic light party, marathon, futsal, bowling and animal rights, the new term looks set to be more vibrant than the last.

Chair of the Committee, Lai Chee Hoe reminded everyone of the importance of Section 76 (2) of the Legal Profession Act 1976. For ease of reference, it is produced below:

Except and in so far as may be necessary for the purpose of giving effect to any resolution passed or decision taken, secrecy shall be maintained by the members of the Board, the Bar Council, the State Bar Committee, the Disciplinary Board, the Disciplinary Committee and their staff involved in all proceedings or matters conducted by the Board, the Bar Council, the State Bar Committee, the Disciplinary Board and the Disciplinary Committee.

This reminder is timely as some members of the KLYLC have found themselves being ambushed in a different e-group over their opinions expressed in the KLYLC e-group. How their opinions have found their place in the different e-group remains a mystery until today.

Some of the confirmed social events to be organised by KLYLC are:

BIM Forum - 15 May 2010

1st By-monthly Drink - 27 May 2010

Charity Night - 2 July 2010
