25th August, 2020: Admission day for new qualified Singaporean Lawyers

Are you a student thinking of pursuing law? If you are just about to embark on your legal career, do you wonder if you are suited to a career in law? Or are you a lawyer who is jaded by legal practice?

In homage of all the Singapore lawyers getting called to the bar today, here is a bonus episode where I got to interview my childhood friend Candice Tan, founder and blogger of Legal Brew, a lawyer with a passion for learning, an educator and a could-have-been astrophysicist.

These are just some questions you may have asked yourself from time to time. In today’s episode, we discuss our different paths we took towards becoming lawyers and rediscover our passion behind it. Travel with us down memory lane as we share about our experiences from our international exchanges in Hong Kong, Italy, West Africa, Australia, Malaysia and Switzerland.

In the cases that Candice takes on, she sheds light on the reality of mental health battles that Clients go through and the power of redemption during her time spent working at the homeless clinic.

I love what she shared on the episode: ”You empower your practice when you realise that you actually need a team and you cannot do it all by yourself.”

By acknowledging a crisis moment in her life, Candice goes on her new journey of finding her life’s purpose again. If you have a general curiosity of the law, the Legal Brew is a blog that helps to demystify the whole process of law through engaging articles and interesting stories. What is that legal spark for you? Tune in as we talk about the importance of mentorship and how we navigate and balance our fulfilling careers.
