She stressed the vastness of the legal field, urging young lawyers to explore other areas beyond the courtroom.

“For those that are not able to, eventually when vacant positions become available either at Legal Aid or the AG’s office or at private law firms when they advertise or with other government departments, they get absorbed into the system, and you also have those that continue their studies to do a master’s of law.”

Nayacalevu highlighted the importance of joining non-government organizations where they can utilize their legal knowledge outside of the courtroom if necessary.
