What Made You Want To Become A Lawyer?
Truthfully, I was drawn to the legal profession after watching LA Law, an American legal drama popular in the late 1980s and early 90s.
As a young person, I aspired to make a positive difference to people’s lives and society, while also enjoying the intellectual challenge.
