II. Details and impressions / 詳細と感想
Including the following points: merits, demerits, lessons, contribution to your future career, personalexperience etc.
The first thing I learned even before the internship began is business manners. I have to admit that I
had made a few mistakes in it at the beginning but during the internship I realized the importance ofbusiness manner is not just in showing respect, it can also bring confidence to the client; cheer upcolleagues and improve working efficiency.
The way how a real lawyer thinks and work also gave us a strong impression that it required bothpreciseness and efficiency. For example, when we first got the work on telecommunication, westarted by looking into the telecommunication law then to the rule then the guideline which spent us
a whole day understanding the basic situation. However, it only cost half an hour for an experienced
Myanmar’s lawyer to write a brief report by making a few phone calls and searching on thegovernment’s websites. What is even more important than speed in legal practice is certainty, even
we believe we understand the meaning written in the law, there are chances cause mistakes like thewrong translation, the new enacted rules which restrict the interpretation of the words in law orsometimes the government just simply do not follow the law or rules which drafted by themselves.
So, it is necessary to use every resource to make sure our suggestion is implementable and try tothink out all the circumstances once the project is carried out.
Another thing I learned is business legal writing which is different from the paper we wrote in1

college. In schools we write to tell our opinions and inspire thinking and discussion, however in legal
practice it is a different work and some how opposite. I was taught not to write all the ideas in thereport because it will confuse the client and never write down anything in the report that cannot be
100 percent sure. Because lawyers cannot afford making a mistake which may harm the thing theyvalue most, the reputation.
Moreover, in Myanmar we can easily feel the combination and conflicts between different legal
system and tradition. Due to the history of Myanmar, there exists the English law from the colonial
era and the new enacted law with the help from common law country (Australia) and civil law
country (Japan) and the judges can be a retired military officers which may be the tradition from theprevious military government.
I am grateful to SAGA Asia for offering me this chance to practice legal business especially cases
relating to international transaction. This internship provides me a precious experience not only
within legal field but also benefit me in any aspects in my future work and study.
