2nd day of law attachment.

930am The first part of the afternoon was spent assisting Mr. Abdullah in his research work regarding Section 23 of the Evidence act in relation to ‘communication without prejudice’. Found an extremely applicable Federal court case along with some High Court cases from the MLJs and CLJs in the Library.

11am Surfed the Bar Council website. Good read inside!

1145am Introduced to Mr.Chong who briefed me on the program, more to come when Yoke Hang and Pui San come in on Monday. Program divided to three parts, field trips, file research and interactive lectures. Looking forward to it! Of course la, no allowance provided. =b

Mr. Chong introduced me to 3 partners, Ms. Siew, Ms. Cindy and Mr. Azhar. They are to hand me files to research or assist them in their work. (No pictures to be taken unless permission given)

12.15am Received an intellectual property (IP) file from Ms. Cindy, Very interesting. Regarding a trademark request by Nissin Company in Japan. They wanted to officially trademark the name ‘NISSIN FOODS’. Going through the files, forms (TM1 & TM5) and process of the application. Fresh application Oh! To think that I sometimes I eat these noodles at home!

12.45pm Lunch : We went to Jack’s place the restaurant famous for ‘roti babi’! haha.. tried their pork chop there. Not bad. But RM9 la..

2pm Went through more IP files and Rose (the librarian) showed me their archive of bills and acts. I went through the masterlist of all the acts enacted in Malaysia. Comprehensive. Guess what? I found Malaysia’s parallel of our Misuse of Drugs Act 1932 (MODA) in Australia! (We are allowed to bring this act into our criminal law examination for citation purposes). It’s called the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. It has the same format defining trafficking and so on! How interesting is that!

Haha.. there was that law-geek rush of excitement moment seeing how I could possibly apply this in the future..

I will be joining the Chambees for a meeting to prepare for the 'monthly drinks', a gathering amongst attachment students, chambering students, lawyers, junior lawyers, associates and partner for food and fellowship.

(Btw, that’s pretty much the ladder any aspiring law student has to climb to reach Partner status.)

....

Meeting with Chambees , 10 of us regarding the monthly drink, got some good ideas coming up, the result of it will be in the pictures tmrw! Haha.. Besides researching law reports, now I search on how to make killer mocktails and out-of-the world bruschettas~

Till then!

End of 2^nd day,

Jason.

*Guess what? I waited 40 minutes and saw 7 trains passed by me just to get up the Dang Wangi LRT Station. And there were just about 10 people in front if me! KL KL..
