I would like to thank the Perak Bar Young Lawyersand Pupil’s committee for believing in me to writeand produce the content of this book whilst I wasjust 6-months into my pupillage. I am extremelygrateful that I am paired with the most talented andcreative team; Amira and Dhiviya to birth thishandbook. I hope this handbook will guide everypupil that undergo their chambering, gracefully andsmoothly. Shout out to Kanye West for inspiring mewith the design.-Nabilatul Huda, Co-Author.

I was a pupil myself before this handbook wascreated and boy was I clueless on the procedures Ihad to undergo during the pupillage period that Iended up filing the simple Borang 1 & 2 five times!However, with the help of my good friend Huda, whoalso happens to be the co-author of this handbook, Ihave managed to file everything correctly and theidea of the handbook evolved from then on. I hopethis handbook will get you through pupillageseamlessly as intended and have fun while you’reon it. Best of luck!

-Amira binti Ahmad Niza, Co-Author

To all pupils,

Hopefully, this handbook guides you through thetechnical waters of filing your pupillage forms. Youshould always remember to check and recheck yourforms before you file and serve. If in doubt, alwaysseek clarification. Good luck!
