CLERKSHIP SHOULD BUILD YOUNG LAWYERS- NOT JUST TEST THEIR PROFFESSIONALISM:
A law firm that cannot afford allowances should not be condemned; we all know that very few lawfirms are able to afford allowances for clerkship students.
Clerkship is an opportunity to teach a young lawyer perseverance, resilience and the realities of legal practice. The hassle and tassel in legal practice is real!
Equally, a young lawyer who reports late should not immediately be labelled irresponsible and untrainable. It is an opportunity for a supervisor to teach the Young Lawyer discipline, ethics and professional responsibility.
Writing back to the LDC rejecting a student should be the last resort after mentorship, correction and guidance have completely failed.
Clerkship is not merely about observing the conduct of young lawyers. It is about shaping future lawyers.
We should correct before we condemn, mentor before we reject, and build before we blame.
The concerned student needs some bit of counselling about the realities of clerkship and legal practice.
This is my honest opinion about this subject!
When a clerkship student walks through your firm’s door with requests that make you pause, perhaps even requests you consider outrageous, don’t be too quick to dismiss them.
Because before you see a difficult clerkship student, see a future colleague. Before you see an unreasonable request, see a teachable moment.
Sit them down. Ask them why. Explain the reality.
Show them the difference between what they expect and what is actually on the ground.
Take it as an opportunity to begin the mentorship journey. And remember, mentorship does not mean agreeing with everything they say. Mentorship involves helping them understand, why some things cannot be done. Why some expectations must change and why professionalism sometimes means learning to adjust.
And before you make a decision, take the long term view. Ask yourself, what kind of lawyer am I helping to create? What kind of colleague will this person become? And perhaps, more importantly, what kind of firm are we building?
Because the clerkship student sitting across from you today may be the colleague standing beside you tomorrow. They may become the advocate you brief, the colleague you collaborate with, the judicial officer before whom you appear, or even the leader shaping the profession after you.
So, don’t just manage the moment. Build the person.
Don’t just protect the firm from today’s inconvenience. Remember that leadership in law is not only about winning cases, meeting deadlines, or protecting the firm’s interests. Sometimes, leadership is seeing potential where others see a problem, and choosing to mentor it.

This 2,000 km drive is probably one of the safest and most rewarding 1 to 2 week drives you can take in Africa outside of South Africa.
Nairobi-Arusha-Moshi-Dar es Salaam-Tanga-Mombasa-Nairobi.
If you've always dreamed of overlanding Africa, but don't have the time left in your life or you'd like to get a taste before committing to something longer, this route is for you.
It's a very mountain and hill focused route, with Oldoinyo Orok (Namanga Hill), Mount Meru, Mount Kilimanjaro, Usambara Mountains, Shimba Hills, Taita Hills, and the Chyulu Hills. If you're a trekker, you'll be in heaven.
Want to absorb real Swahili coastal vibes? Tanga, Bagamoyo and Old Town Mombasa fairly ooze with spice.
Want to see big game? Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks, home of the lions of the Ghost in the Darkness are along the way.
You'll never be far from some type of help if you run into trouble on this route. There are 4 airports with service outside of Africa and an additional 3 with domestic scheduled service.

These two videos from Agri Evolve, in Kasese, Uganda give hope that the coffee value chain will never fall into the hands of the charlatans that have sought that monopoly for 4 decades, now
Equally glad for Kiira College Butiki. Preps were optional. Even classes. Only rule was pass your exams. We were even allowed to walk out of school as long as you were in 10km radius of it.
Taught me self reliance, albeit, painfully 😂😂
