Another thing I learned from this experience was how lawyers are compassionate. At the height of the pandemic, VALOR-19 was created by volunteer lawyers and law students were free to join to answer COVID and quarantine-related queries. I was fortunate enough to have been part of this as I witnessed how dedicated and united the legal profession is in these trying times. Although my participation was cut short as I was almost done completing my DLAC hours, this experience made me want to enter the public service more when I become a lawyer.
