Seven years of practice - a reflection

BY the time this article is published, I would have completed seven years as a lawyer. Seven years ago, Oct 5, 2007, I was admitted to the High Court of Malaya as an advocate and solicitor, a wide-eyed young man from Petaling Jaya at the cusp of his legal journey, not knowing what the future held.

Non-lawyers may not understand why completing seven years of practice is a big deal. But for a lawyer, completing seven years of practice means that he is technically not a young lawyer anymore.
