The insight of a week of Trial

I have no idea of since when I was being labeled as a Trial Chambee. All that I've involved was being part of the trial playing a role of the not too important one but the one who can't be without with. DP's trial started by this Wednesday, as usual, we are not able to finish it within the fixed days of 3. I suppose this is the biggest case with the biggest client through out my pupilage. The Pl is a JB well known upstart, whereas our client is a Tan Sri. Just a week of trial, I felt I was drifted apart from families and friends, giving an impression of arrogant and impersonal.

Well, let's first talk about the insightness of this trial. Big lawyer, big clients and witness were presented in this trial, that really widened my exposure. 1st day of trial, YP introduced me to Tan Sri, when I was introducing my name as Ms Tan, Yp misheard I addressed Tan Sri as Mr Tan, haha.. after I've clarified the truth, everyone seems like being amused by YP's black humour. There are a lots of witness called in this trial, YP is the co-counsel while Mr Thommy Thomas, a well known KL lawyer is the lead counsel. First day, JN was come to assist Yp while I was doing my usual task of taking down note.

The P's first witness is the plaintiff himself, a 63 years old upstart, who did not cooperate with the counsel nor understand the question. He contends his lack of education which became the reasons for him to escape from almost every question. One thing amazed me is that his attitude and appearance is contradicted to his status of a director and developer. He is more like a gangster!! He is also keep emphasizing he only have standard 6 education, then I start pondering what make him an upstart with so much of wealth and properties? At that point of time, he makes me puzzlig on myself of why studying so much, being a so called "professional" with little money.

Second day, to my surprise, Yp instruct JN to go bk office half way the trial. Haa.. she was asked to type the NOP!!! Finally, what I thought for long has happened, so this is a good time for her to prove her superb ability to produce such notes in a time with her glamorous English language that is 100% accurately! Sometimes, I suspected YP can read my feeling, and then he will suddenly do something that pleased me! I did enjoy a few moment of joy when he asked JN back for the NOP. Then she can experience my difficulties and hardship that she supposed is very easy. I think the second day is the most delightful trial I have with Yp. Not only because JN's disappearance in the court, I was also given opportunity to join Tan Sri, Thommy and client a short while for case discussion at Thistle Hotel. After a tired but delighful day, GS asked me for a old school mates' gathering with all funs and laughing.

Just half way of gissiping, YP rang me and asked me to get ready with the contract act and paper after I've reached home. That's mean I have to bk home immediately coz he is waiting for my resource!! Thus, the gathering ended by YP >_< After reach home, I did the same as what he instructed me.searching for the part of the proceeding and searching for sections for him...That moment, I start wondering whether I still wanna practice litigation like him?

Again, he repeat the same question tome that whetehr I still wanna practise? This time, I was not as affirm as before, I did not answer him, my persistency has been shaken, not by him, but from what i've seen. My hopelessness to the court is shaking my persistency~
