I sat for my final Law exam paper this morning. It was an exhausting affair and I had to resort to eating energy bars during the exams otherwise, my brain was blanking out.
Anyway, I have to say that my question spotting skills are still spot on. This time around, I had a 97.5% accuracy in spotting the questions. It helps that I’m also a lecturer.
I have not written so much in ages – 20 essays in 15 hours. All that writing takes a toll. My fingers are still aching and I think that my thumb will hurt for a few more days.
I dare say that I know the gist of Malaysian legal history – how English Law made its way into this country and the lasting impact it has had on our legal system. Our legal system is a curious creature and begs to be studied in more detail.
I dare say that I know about marriages and divorces – under Islamic family Law. Learning divine law was a pain for an atheist like me. I just had to learn it as it was. It has led me to a better understanding of why some people think and act they way they do.
I dare say that I know a thing or two about contracts – how to make them and how to get out of them. This was probably my favourite paper as it is so orderly and structured. Or maybe it’s just because of my business dealings and industrial experience.
I dare say that I know the basics of tort and liability – though I did try my very best to steer clear of negligence. This was an eye-opening subject for me to learn as it forces one to dig deep for answers and tests our core values.
I dare say that I know more about our Constitution today than I did a year ago – it is extremely depressing being a student of Malaysian Constitutional Law though I do see some light at the end of the tunnel.
All in all, I think that the last year of learning Law has been a great experience for me. I think that I am now richer because of the experience. It has taught me how to see things from a totally different angle.
I do hope that I’ll be able to go onto learn more interesting things next year but for now, I have a 3-month break from studying. This will give me an opportunity to catch up on some reading.
Game of Thrones, here I come!
