Pre - Graduation
During my academic career as a law student I performed the role of research assistant to the Director of the UWC - Law Clinic. I was responsible for managing all class action and public interest files, conducting high level research on relevant legislation, regulations, policies and practices impacting each matter, compiling reports and file status updates for the Director, providing advice and research on legislation and provide verbal and written responses to the relevant stakeholders which required the ability to access a multiplicity of resources.
I was also enrolled in the University of the Western Cape - Law Clinic's elective course: Legal process. The primary purpose of the course is to afford law students the opportunity to work in a legal environment, by consulting with indigent clients, and by drafting basic letters and pleadings. As a student I worked under the direct supervision of one of the Attorney's at the Law Clinic.
As a law student I also participated in various volunteer programs i.e. Street Law UWC. I had the following responsibilities: drafting, developing and implementing lesson plans, manage, train and support volunteers, organizing regular community outreach, presenting weekly training workshops at CPF's, prisons, schools, shelters, safe homes for women and children in indigent communities, establishing partnerships and liaising between all relevant stakeholders, compiling monthly assessment reports as well as analyzing all financial reports. I assisted the Co - ordinating Attorney and Ad Hoc management committee to effectively implement projects and policies.
After four years of student advocacy and lobbying Street Law was introduced as part of the Faculty of Law Curricula and is currently presented as a final year UWC- LLB elective module.
Practical Legal Training:
Whilst at the UWC Law Clinic I have acquired substantial experience in the practice of law. My experience included consulting with clients in a diverse array of matters including social housing matters, deceased estates, domestic violence, divorce, maintenance, evictions, civil claims, debt relief and labour.
I represented accused persons in the community criminal courts primarily on charges of assault, crimen iniuria, theft, malicious damage to property and possession of narcotics. In the motion courts I argued matters on behalf of respondents in eviction applications and in the regional courts in respect of unopposed divorce matters.
Moreover, I have gained extensive experience in drafting of particulars of claim, pleas, notices and affidavits in civil matters and experience in drafting representations and pleas of not guilty in criminal matters.
