The Lawyer on my mind
By recalling all my experiences in college, I can draw a clearer
picture of what kind of lawyer I want to be when that time comes. My college
experience has been formed by my active involvement in social causes. I joined
the volunteer program of the KKP-SIO. I was also active in the Student
Government. I shared these two significant experiences because they are
essential in predicting and defining what kind of lawyer I would like to be.
My exposure in social development work and governance has attracted
me to engage in “developmental lawyering”. I would like to open a local public
interest law firm which gives premium in serving indigent clients. Aside from
practicing law, I can also see myself as an advocate for certain social causes
such as the environment, agrarian reform and people empowerment.
My experience in governance as a student leader also inspires
me to engage in governance development. People participation in the political
process is a particular concern that I wish to engage in. I would like to sharpen
my skills to provide competent advice in local government development.
In sum, I see a lawyer who labours to preserve the dignity
and nobility of the legal profession; a lawyer who uses his ability to forward
the causes of those who are left behind. A lawyer who is the voice of the
voiceless and a lawyer who fights for the eternal truth that those who have
less in life should have more in law.
This was written as a seatwork in Legal Writing A. Years
from now, I shall reread this post and see.
