Following
JTJB's Internship program agreement with
Doshisha University in Kyoto Japan on 29 June
2006, JTJB welcomed 3 interns Mr Junji
Hashimoto, Mr Hideki Maruo and Ms Naoko
Hayakawa from the University for a 2 week
internship between mid August to mid September
2006.
During the internship programme, the interns were
given brief lectures on the finer points of the
Singapore legal system and shipping law and
practice in Singapore. In addition, the interns
also shadowed JTJB lawyers, and attended various
Court hearings including an application for
discovery of documents, a criminal matter, and a
divorce hearing at the Family Courts. The interns
also attended meetings with clients, experiencing
first-hand how lawyers communicate and advise
clients.
The interns were impressive in their ability to
adapt, grasp difficult legal concepts, and
willingness to learn. JTJB enjoyed hosting the
interns, and look forward to welcoming more
students from Doshisha University in the near
future. |
