Constable Kushboo Saheeba Nisha Ali, an officer from the Prosecution Unit in the Eastern Division, recently celebrated a significant achievement by becoming a qualified lawyer at the age of just 25. Her formal admission to the Bar of the High Court of Fiji took place during a ceremony at the Grand Pacific Hotel in Suva, where she was surrounded by the support of her mother and brother.
Over the span of seven years, Constable Ali dedicated herself to earning her law degree and Professional Diploma in Legal Practice (PDLP) from the University of the South Pacific. This journey was not without its challenges, as she balanced a full-time job while advancing her education, often navigating the pressures of maintaining high academic standards alongside a heavy workload of assignments and tutorials.
Reflecting on her success, Constable Ali attributed much of her achievement to the steadfast encouragement of her single mother and family, who played a vital role in helping her overcome the obstacles she encountered throughout her studies. With her future within the Fiji Police Force looking bright, she expressed enthusiasm about continuing her education, with hopes of pursuing opportunities to study abroad.
Her journey is reminiscent of other determined individuals in the legal profession, such as Shyyal Kumar, who similarly graduated with a Bachelor of Laws degree while managing personal and educational commitments. Both women represent a spirit of resilience and the critical influence of family support.
Constable Ali’s accomplishment serves as a beacon of inspiration for many young Fijians, demonstrating that with hard work and determination, success is attainable despite challenges. She stands as a hopeful figure for a new generation of legal professionals committed to community service and positive change.
