Executive Summary: Turcan Connell's Work

This period of our lives is a one bursting with challenging events and life-changing transitions, don’t you think? However testing this phase may be though, it's how we accept and counteract these alterations that ultimately opens up a deeper understanding of our world and self. J.C. Burke’s thought provoking novel, ‘The Story of Tom Brennan’ and John Marsden and Matt Ottley’s heartbreaking picture book ‘Home and away’, address this concept of transition and their challenges associated as each protagonist undergoes a catastrophic journey surrounding a challenged attitude and the need for maturity development.

My upbringing made me constantly aware of the prejudice, discrimination and exploitation in today’s society. Due to this, I possess a particular desire to have a pivotal impact on society by representing those from underprivileged backgrounds which fuelled an interest in equality and trust law. I soon became under the realisation that the law influences almost all aspects of day-to-day life which allowed me to appreciate the significance of it. This encouraged me to take law at higher education. With my career aspiration in the world of law in mind, I perused A Levels which would allow me to gain numerous skills which I could apply across the board.

Access to knowledge and expertise needed to make a difference in the lives of many is the driving force behind my decision. By following my passions, I earned Culinary, Pastry Arts, and Food and Beverage Management degrees at the College of Southern Nevada, and it is there that I rediscovered my passion for law. I have always wanted to be a lawyer. Partly because that has been my answer to the “what do you want to be when you grow up?” question since I was six years old, but also because I feel that my own life’s path is taking me to a focus on advocacy and children’s rights. My path to law school hasn't been a traditional one, however I think that the very detours I have taken along this road are what will make me an excellent student and in turn,

‘What kind of lawyer do I want to be’ is a very wide question open to a whole range of interpretations. Choosing to study Law at university almost certainly means becoming either a barrister or a solicitor will be the route to follow, but this choice as well as deciding whether to practice civil or criminal law is one which requires substantial thought. Having carried out work experience at my local Crown Court, and visited the Exeter Crown Court, it has impacted how I see my future. Additionally, my independent research coupled with seminar tasks in negotiation and advocacy have also helped to shape my decision. These experiences have brought to my attention a range of ethical concerns within the courtroom, however there are two issues in particular that have stood out. The first being cross-examination of vulnerable witnesses and defendants, for example, the elderly, rape victims, and children, and the second issue being legal aid and its impact. Learning about legal aid within the legal foundations course has opened my eyes to the struggle of the ‘ordinary person’ unable to obtain legal advice, and the significant, increasing divide between city firms advising corporate clients and the ‘high street firm’ advising the everyday citizen. Both of these issues have impacted on how I see my future as a lawyer.
