Is There A Solicitor in My Future?
Hooray! Our natural air conditioning (sea breeze) is back today. It felt good to have some cool breeze while jogging along the waterfront with my friends B and W. But once we got away from the water, it still was hot. I don't know what my weekend activities will be yet, but I'm thinking of going over by the ocean where it will be cooler.
Today, I contacted J to ask him about his leads for legal jobs in HK. After talking with J, I pretty much have decided to apply for admission as a solicitor in HK. Not only would that make it easier for me to get a job in HK, but it also would be a tremendous, personal honor for me. According to the information on the website for
The Law Society of Hong Kong (香 港 律 師 會), an attorney with my experience should be able to qualify by passing one examination (Conveyancing). It would be exciting for me to take a course and exam on HK real estate law, especially since I have a genuine interest in the subject as well as experience dealing with real estate cases and transactions in the U.S. If I can pass the exam, I will be able to officially call myself 律 師 (leut6 si1) in Chinese.
