Hobbies and Interests

I have a significant interest in law because I'm passionate about advocacy, justice, and problem-solving. The chance to actually change people's lives via legal work excites me, as does the intricacy and organisation of the legal system. The legal process is both personally and intellectually exciting for me, whether it is through research, working with clients, or helping attorneys prepare cases. I have volunteered with legal services because I find it particularly appealing to use my legal knowledge to assist others who might not have easy access to legal resources.
