The International Law Students Association (ILSA), together with the International Law Department, held a guidance session titled “The Blueprint for Legal Success” on Tuesday, 27 October 2026, in AKKM1-D01, with the aim of helping students start the new academic year with confidence and clear direction. The session brought together lecturers from the International Law Department, senior students and graduates, who drew on their own academic journeys to provide students with practical insights into the difficulties frequently encountered in legal education and effective ways of overcoming them. The session addressed key questions such as why hard work does not always lead to the expected results, how to manage time effectively, how to prepare for examinations with confidence, and how to maintain a healthy balance between academic responsibilities and personal life. Conducted in an interactive format, the event gave students the opportunity to raise their own questions and receive guidance directly from those who have successfully navigated the same path.The session provided participants with a clear roadmap for a productive and rewarding academic year. The International Law Department would like to thank ILSA and all speakers for their valuable contributions to the event.
