The Gauteng lawyer worked whilst completing her Bachelor of Laws degree
Completing any qualification while working is quite an accomplishment – one that the legal eagle undertook to the best of her ability:
“While I was studying for my Bachelor of Laws (LLB), I was employed as a legal secretary at a firm that handled family law, corporate law, and personal injury matters. At that time, we were the defendant attorneys for the Road Accident Fund.”
The 31-year-old began her legal journey after matriculating and studying at Tshwane University of Technology:
“It has always been my dream to be an attorney. I started my journey immediately after completing my matric. I studied and completed a National Diploma in Legal Assistance and then later enrolled for an LLB degree at the University of South Africa.”
The admitted attorney persevered through difficult times
Although the journey to becoming an attorney was long, Elizabeth explains that perseverance and discipline were key to her success:
“I patiently studied and completed all the requirements to be admitted as an attorney.
“After I completed my diploma, I was employed as an intern at the Department of Justice, where I was stationed at Soshanguve magistrate's court – that's where my love and passion for law were nurtured and groomed. I was attending to the children's court and maintenance section and assisted parties with disputes pertaining to the minor child.”
The qualified lawyer in Gauteng discusses some of the challenges she faced
Elizabeth needed to overcome bullying along her journey, which is something many people in professional settings struggle with:
“The other senior legal practitioners bully you at court. However, I had to be content with my clients and be strong and believe in myself to assist my clients to the best of my ability.”
The attorney is a loving parent who always sought to the needs of her children during her journey to becoming an attorney:
“Another challenge I faced was when I was preparing to write board examinations, I only received one leave day and I had a six-month-old baby girl during that time.”
Elizabeth says her family members are all ecstatic about her fantastic achievement:
“My parents threw a surprise congratulations party for me last weekend. That's how happy they are. They know my struggles and what I have endured to prepare for my journey to admission.”
The loving momma shares her dreams for the future, noting that growth within the legal fraternity is important to her:
“My biggest dream is to grow within the legal field as an attorney and pursue a field in compliance. I am currently employed as a junior associate and managing a group of 30 staff members. I am happy about what the future may hold.”
