A TRUE LAWYER [ POSTED TO BAR COUNCIL MEMBERS]

The first thing I do is to quote my fees for appearing in Court.

The second is to tell them that the fees are immediately payable on engaging me.

The third thing is to collect the agreed fees immediately.

( If  the person starts to say that your fees are not affordable, pretend you have a stomach cramp and disappear from the scene immediately)

Selamat berjuang!

A LAWYERS FRUSTRATION

I think we lawyers should also communicate with each other more often,
especially in cases like this. I have been frustrated before by my
opposing counsel who chose not to contact me in a similar situation.
We were very cordial with each other before, mind you, which is what
frustrated me even more.When we meet, we all seem friendly-but underneath I feel like taking the chair and banging it over his head. What a snake!!

THE MAN AT THE WINDOW

During one of my law lectures, there was this man who was always looking through the windows at the whiteboard like this. It was rather un-nerving. Later I found out that his daughter was a student  in my class.

QUASI JUDICIAL-ITS MEANING

Refers to decisions made by administrative tribunals or government officials to which the rules of natural justice apply. In judicial decisions, the principles of natural justice always apply.

It refers to Goverment bodies presiding over  administrative situations where they have to play the role of a 'judge' in the sense of hearing out the parties and coming to a decision. Although it is not a Court of law, they are goverened by the rules of natural justice. One example is- No person must be condemned unheard but must be given an opportunity to answer the charges made against him/her.

LORD REID

 The leading judgment of Ridge v Baldwin was delivered by Lord Reid.According to his Lordship at p66 of the report 'an officer cannot lawfully be dismissed without first telling him what is alleged against him and hearing his defence of explanation."

JUS COGENS- ITS MEANING

ORANG ASLI'S

I snapped this picture in the interior jungle of Pahang. Although the Orang Asli's look alike,they originate from different tribes.The 1st is a Semelai,the 2nd-I believe,is a Jakun and the 3rd a Temuan.But the Jakun looked at me suspiciously,so I quickly moved off. Vijay- The Midnight Owl.
