Not only are there Monash graduates nowholding prominent positions in the Singapore legal circle, it was also clear that this was a university highly regarded and wellrecognised both within and outside the industry.Since entering law school in Monash University, I have experienced first hand the excellent quality of teaching and vibrantstudent life that was so highly spoken of. Lecturers have an infectious passion for their subject matter, and their desire to seestudents do well is obvious.Giselle ThamCurrent LLB studentThe Law Students Society has also been a significant part of my positive experience at Monash. The Society’s activitiesrange from social events, such as the annual Law Ball, to academic support in the form of peer mentor programs andstudent tutorial programs, as well as legal competitions like moots and client interviews. As an international student in a newenvironment, I was grateful for the social and academic support that eased my transition into university and life in Melbourne.It was also a significant moment when I donned a blazer and appeared before a ‘judge’ in my first ever mock trial (the FirstYear Moot Competition).Overall, my journey through law school has been a fascinating one so far. Though challenging at times, I take comfort inknowing that the law community at Monash is one I can depend on and who walks this path with me. Often told that theuniversity phase will be one of the best times of my life, I am glad it is at Monash where these memories are being created.”29
