Africa / Meet Darshani Parsuramen, the new YCLA Co-chair

I am delighted to have the opportunity to further contribute to the work of the YCLA, in my new role as Co-chair. Having been involved with the CLA since 2018, I have eagerly welcomed the developments the Association has made, ever striving to truly represent the diversity of views and opinions of its member states.

At the heart of this diverse and inclusive organization, the YCLA allows the younger members to use their voice to foster change.

I commend the outstanding work of my predecessor, Rishika Arora, who worked hand in hand with Joanna Robinson to lead the Committee in some of its innovative work, namely the survey and contributing to the review of CLA Online.

I look forward to working with Joanna, my co-Chair, and our committee members, to bring their ideas to fruition and initiate projects to showcase the talents of young lawyers across the Commonwealth and what they bring to the table.
