The Third Eye got in touch with newly elected President, Jake Buttigieg, and former President, Paula Briffa, to get their comments on the new and previous term.
This term, JCA shall continue to strive toward fostering solidarity between law students as they grow into the legal profession. To that end, we must focus further on the areas of professional ethics, responsibility to the profession and the duties of lawyers in service of justice.
I’m very thankful to have worked with such an excellent team over the previous year and to have many of them continue to serve with the organisation in this executive. We should be grateful for having been left such a solid foundation to continue building on. I wish the best to the exec members who did not continue into this year, who have served the students so faithfully, and now move on to the next step of their careers.
Jake Buttigieg, JCA President
Briffa looks back on her term and is proud of what JCA has achieved;
I am so proud of this young team full of motivated individuals that now form part of the new JCA Executive Committee 2021/22. Having been involved in JCA for a number of years, I have countless of memories and saying goodbye is never easy. However, I am absolutely certain that the organisation is in safe hands and will continue to flourish and achieve its goals.
Paula Briffa, former JCA President
The Third Eye would like to express its best wishes to the newly elected executive for their coming term!
