‘Unattractive’ legal profession

by: New Sin Yew
The Star, 26 October 2012

Malaysia is not a hub for legal services in the region. The best minds are more interested in practising in other jurisdictions where the work and pay is better.
IT’S a funny world we live in. Today’s unalterable truth may be tomorrow’s shibboleth.
For the legal profession in Malaysia, the seemingly unalterable truth is – do not join the profession unless you are prepared to face the harshness of the working conditions.
However, if you persevere, the returns can be very rewarding and fulfilling.
The National Young Lawyers Committee (NYLC) conducted a survey on the working conditions of young lawyers in late 2011, and the results which were recently released can be found at www.malaysianbar.org.my.
It indicates that there is or will be a mass exodus of young lawyers from the legal profession because of the lack of work-life balance, low pay and bad working conditions.
The survey shows that the average starting pay is RM3,000-RM3,500 in the Klang Valley and RM2,000-RM2,500 outside of the Klang Valley – just enough to support the cost of living.
The average working hours are between 51 hours to more than 60 hours a week. Almost all young lawyers work weekends.
This means that, in the Klang Valley, based on the average monthly pay of RM3,250 (RM39,000 per annum, excluding bonuses) and average working hours of 55 hours a week (2,860 hours over 52 weeks), over a year, first-year lawyers are only paid RM13.64 per hour. It is much lower for pupils.
Outside of the Klang Valley, based on the average monthly pay of RM2,250 (RM27,000 per annum, excluding bonuses) and the same average working hours, over a year, first-year lawyers are only paid RM9.44 per hour.
Some recommendations were made by the NYLC to increase the starting pay and improve working conditions.
Some quarters cynically cried out that young lawyers are making demands despite being of low quality.
They say that young lawyers should not demand higher pay unless they have proven themselves.
Pause for a moment and consider what the survey results really mean.
Firstly, it means that the profession, as a whole, is not attractive.
Students, when choosing a degree, will second-think pursuing law. Law students may choose not to practise upon completing their law degree.
Some will be driven by passion, but not everyone has enough passion to endure the initial hardship.
The best minds may instead be more interested in other professions.
Why isn’t the profession able to retain these talents?
Generally, Malaysia is not a hub for legal services in the region. The best minds are more interested in practising in other jurisdictions where the work and pay is better.
The profession must improve and be the main legal services hub in the region. But the paradox is, to do so, higher salary and better working conditions are also required to attract and retain the best talents.
Secondly, not having an attractive entry point does not augur well for diversity in the legal profession.
The legal profession should be diverse because lawyers are guardians of rights and liberties of people of all gender, races, backgrounds or classes.
The current starting salary and working conditions, by chance or design, targets only a single demographic – fresh graduates, middle or upper middle class, living with their family, and having little family or financial commitments.
A prospective entrant who has dependants would find it hard to pursue a career in law given the low average starting pay, the long hours and the non-existing weekends.
To quote Lord Falconer: “If you don’t catch people when they’re 15 or 16, when it comes to choosing judges 30 or 40 years later, you won’t have the diversity you need to ensure that judges reflect society”.
Thirdly, with the starting salary and working conditions of the legal profession failing to attract and retain talents and not encouraging diversity, legal access would be significantly affected. Legal access also means having access to a lawyer of your choice.
The survey shows that 28.17% of the respondents in the Klang Valley and 15.29% of the respondents outside of Klang Valley are leaving the profession in the next five years and a further 38.73% of the respondents in the Klang Valley and 48.24% of the respondents outside of Klang Valley are uncertain of their future in the legal profession.
These staggering numbers show that lawyers do not want to be lawyers anymore.
Society will be affected because the choice of lawyers would be limited. There will not be a greater pool of talent to choose from for clients or when it comes to the appointment of judges.
The quality will have to be compromised with whatever the supply is. In the long run, it will be detrimental to the legal system in Malaysia.
The results and the recommendations by the NYLC are not unjustified.
It would be convenient to blame the law schools for failing to produce competent graduates. But employers must look at themselves and ask if they have been contributing to this problem.
The unalterable truth of today must be questioned.
For employers who are truly concerned about attracting and retaining the best talents, the survey results and recommendations should be taken seriously.
For those who choose to ignore the survey results and recommendations, do so at your own peril.

panjang kan!!
haha. terima kasih kepada PUTIK LADA! anda mmg memahami. haha.
ada apa-apa komen?
berikut adalah komen-komen aku dari lubuk hati ini. ecehhhh:
1. aku rasa Shah Alam adalah area Klang Valley. tapi area Shah Alam jangan berangan la nk dapat 3000. apatah lagi Klang. [aku tatau la kalau ada, tapi setakat ni aku tak jumpa lagi la]
dan... YA. aku bekerja sampai malam. weekend juga. walaupun bukan la every weekend bos panggil masuk ofis, tapi, bila weekend je ko ada masa lapang nak siapkan semua kerja yang pending, ko ada pilihan ke untuk tak datang ofis dan/atau tak buat kerja waktu weekend?? --itu pon kadang-kadang tak siap-siap jugak
bukannya aku workaholic, tapi.. dah kerja tu memang kena buat kan. nak tak nak kena la hadap jugak. itu kan tanggungjawab.
aku memang setuju dengan penulis: 
"Do not join the profession unless you are prepared to face the harshness of the working conditions."
 (lack work-life balance, low pay and bad conditions.)

adakah aku bersedia?
entahlah..

2. pasal gaji.. mungkin orang akan kata, bersyukurlah dengan apa yang ada. ada orang gaji lagi teruk. tapi.. tapi.. bukanlah tak bersyukur. tapi.. kadang-kadang rasa tak berbaloi dengan penat dan masa yang terluang terbuang.
aku rasa gaji yang aku dapat tu, bukanlah banyak, tapi bukanlah sikit. cukuplah untuk aku menampung hidup aku anak beranak. (haah, anak beranak sangat kan). Alhamdulillah. tapi, tidak kah para bos ini sedar yang gaji itu adalah untuk bayaran kerja 8 jam sehari.
secara jujurnya, aku bukanlah nk berkira sangat kalau kerja lebih masa. aku mmg paham dah memang kerja mcm ni. pagi dah buang masa dekat court. tunggu turn je sampai sempat panjang bulu ketiak. janggut.
bila tak cukup masa nk siapkan kerja, nk taknak kena la stay jugak kan malam. bila lagi nk buat.
tapi, kadang-kadang tu rasa menyampah pon ada, sakit hati pon ada, 
sebab ada orang senang lenang je balik. tau arah je.
aimi, esok ini. aimi esok itu.
lepas tu, dokumen sampai, senang je ko suruh orang hanta kat aku kan.
"ayu, ni nanti bagi kat aimi"
haah, ye la. die kan bos!
[aimi, yg ko nak banding diri ko dengan bos tu apesal?? ko mampu ke nk jadi bos macam dia?? tak mampu kan? so duduk diam-diam, tutup mulot!]

tapi.. tak salah kan kalau sama-sama buat?
berat sama dipikul, ringan sama dijinjing.
janganla time berat duit je baru sama-sama nk jinjing. 
[ye ke sama-sama? ke masa tu volunteer nk jinjing sorang? oppsss]

sorry.
aku tak berniat nk mengadu domba.
aku percaya benda ni bukan jadi dekat aku saja.
semua kawan-kawan aku ada masalah yang sama, hampir sama, dan tak sama.

almaklumlah. kerja dengan orang kan.
dia akan kata, dulu dia dah rasa, sekarang masa kita la pulak.

iyolah.
tapi, kadang-kadang jgn la melampau sangat.
time kau cuti tak ingat. semua cuti perayaan kau cuti extra. time org lain nk cuti, kau kecoh pulak siap ungkit.

[alamak, aku rasa nak wujud unsur-unsur emosional ni]
sabar sabar #sambil tarik nafas, hembussss. tarikkk hembusss#

ok, back to the article.

3. bila nk demand gaji, kena lah bersedia kerja lebih, kenalah bijak tahap tau semua law macam hafal sifir 1. hmm.
sebab tu la aku tak pernah berani nak cakap apa-apa pasal gaji ke apa-apa lah melibatkan duit.
nak bagi, bagi la, tanak bagi takpela.
yela, budak hingusan, buat apa kerja pon tak boleh. mana la layak nk demand-demand ni.

soalan: sampai tahap apa ko rasa ko boleh demand?
tahap boleh bawak masuk byk file dekat ofis?
tahap dah hafal satu buku Janab?
tahap dah hafal satu Rules of Court?

aku tau, apelah sangat yang aku sumbangkan.
apela sangat ilmu yang aku ada.
bila kena soal je terkulat-kulat.
pegi hearing reinstate depan hakim pon gigil-gigil.
ko dah rasa ko bagus ke aimi?
jangan nk perasan la!
tu baru ibarat sebesar taik idong daripada besarnya taik itik. biji tembikai daripada besarnya tembikai itu sendiri.
paham ke idok?
jadi, renung-renungkanlah. sila la meng-improvekan diri anda.

aku sedar yg aku bukanlah budak cerdik,
dulu tak pernah berangan nk jadi lawyer pon.
 i just go with the flow.
tiba-tiba ada rezeki sambung honours, aku pon sambung.
pastu habis pulak chambering.
maka aku pon menanam la pisang cita-cita nk jadi lawyer masuk tv.
dulu aku cuma belajar semata-mata nk lulus periksa.

aku bukan budak first class.
*sedar diri*

panjang pulak aku bebel.
aku tatau macam mana perasaan orang lain, tapi ini apa yang aku rasa.
aku tau aku memang sepatutnya bersyukur dengan apa yang aku ada.

tapi, kadang-kadang diperah tahap kering kontang
*sila bayang korang basuh baju, korang perahhhhh sampai dah tak payah jemur, dah boleh pakai terus*
siapa tahan.

aku memang ikhlas nk kerja, nak belajar, sebab aku tau aku ni budak baru belajar.
tapi aku lemas dengan perangai-perangai manusia
*aku memang akan lemas sb aku tak pandai berenang*

aku bukan hadap sgt gaji yang banyak.
kala mati pon bukan boleh bawak kubur kan
tapi, aku rasa, sebagai manusia yang waras akalnya, boleh menilai kot, adakan setimpal?
bukan bermaksud aku kata waaa aku ni byk dah berusaha, banyak dah buat itu buat ini. BUKAN MACAM TU.
aku tau aku bukan sapa-sapa tanpa mereka.
tapi, masa dan tenaga yang digunakan, sepatutnya dihargai dan dibayar dengan sepatutnya.

duit bukan segalanya, yang penting kita kerja dalam keadaan gembira. tak gituu??

kita sebagai pengamal undang-undang,
tapi kita lupa mempraktikkan undang-undang tersebut pada diri kita kan.

sila bukak Employment Act.

[aku tau, aku pon selalu langgar undang-undang jalanraya]

aku bukan nak kata aku pandai sangat nk letak-letak seksyen dalam Employment Act bagai ni kan.
mesti kalau ada bos yg baca, mesti menyampah dgn aku kan.
kalau bos-bos aku yg baca, confirm aku akan dikecam hebat!
naik gajinye idok, kena pecat ade la. hahaha

takpela.
apa nk jadi pon jadi la.
kita kan ada hak untuk bersuara di bawah Artikel 10, Perlembagaan Persekutuan.
#dan dan la masa ni ko nk letak segala bagai seksyen la artikel la#

okeila, dah malam.
kena tidur dah esok nk balik shah alam awal.
nanti ada orang kata aku ni saja malas-malas, cuti lebih.
(aku rasa aku macam tak cuti je, badan di rumah, otak di ofis)

ya! inilah antara masalah-masalah lawyer MUDA hingusan.

bukan seronok sangat jadi lawyer ni.
bukan setakat tarik beg airport tu je tahu ke tak-ditujukan kepada PTD yang mengata lawyer semasa perang Blog IL**I.
seronok la korang jadi PTD gaji beso, kereta beso, pegi2 seminar makan sedap, makan free, banyak masa boleh update blog, reply komen dekat blog. pesanan: jgn selalu sgt curi tulang tau. tak bagus. haha.

tahniah la anda PTD. aku tak mampu.
[aku tak penah minat pon nk jd PTD, isi SPA pon tak penah]

tiba-tiba aku nk selit pasal ni apesal?
haha.

tak kesah lah kerja apa pon, janji halal.
tak payah la nk banding-banding, nk mengata-ngata kerja org lain kan. buat je kerja ko diam-diam smpai siap.
yang lawyer pulak, jangan la nk kata lawyer banking ke lawyer convey ke takde kerja la tak bz macam kau yg lawyer konon buat litigation kan.
semua sama ja!
*sempena terdengar sorang akak ni mengadu domba dengan kawan dia tadi masa dekat court dan aku tersentap la seposen*

tapi betul kan, kalau aku kena buat convey ke banking ke.. mesti teeeerkial-kial.
setiap orang ada kelebihan masing-masing kan. :)

kesimpulan akhir:
always put yourself in other's shoes.
if u feel it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too.
be compassionate.

*******************************************
aku tak berniat nk memburukkan sesiapa,
sorry kalau ada yang terasa
[sapa makan cili memang la rasa pedas kan]
tapi, marilah sama-sama kita muhasabah diri kita, demi mencapai sesuatu yang lebih baik.

pesan ayah,
selalulah amalkan ayat 1000 dinar :)
tq ayah. i lap u!


sekian, wassalam.

lagu hiburan kali ini:
terimalah Cinta Setengah Mati (kepada kerja dan ofis) haha.

nanti ada masa lagi aku update pasal dilema makan gaji (sempena baca dekat dalam Metro, ahad semalam)

zzz, tido dulu.
