About this podcast
The first ever law school podcast in Malaysia, focusing on CLP studies. This podcast is designed to be a revision tool summarising important cases, and chapters for students that are taking the CLP exam. In addition to preparing the students on legal knowledge, I will share on how to build a strong mentality and mindset when it comes to coping with stress while studying.
