I chose
Drew because it was renowned for its litigation work. I had the
privilege of having Joseph Grimberg as my pupil master. He was the
finest in the field.
Pupillage
was an eye-opener. I found a whole new challenging world. It was
completely different from law school, and the transition from hypotheticals
to real life issues was fascinating.
Pupillage
was exhilarating. There were new challenges every day, all of them
fresh and exciting. Drew was involved in most of the high profile
and major cases. As pupils, we were thrown into the deep end. The
seniors were never selfish about sharing their work, cases and clients.
But
above everything else, I was allowed to make mistakes and learn
from them.
Pupillage
in Drew retains the essence of what I enjoyed when I was a pupil.
But it has also evolved. We understand that it is important for
the pupils to be guided. This accounts for our Mentor scheme which
gives our pupils the benefit of the experience not only of their
masters but also of less senior lawyers to whom the pupils can relate
on a personal basis. Equally important is the feedback of the pupils,
which we take them very seriously. As pupils learn from us, we learn
from them and apply the acquired knowledge to future programmes. |
