I am insanely unfortunate to be part of the new rules where the training contract is now 1 year instead of 6 months. When I first entered law school, I had buffered this 6 month period into my consideration. However, when I entered the third year of my studies, this period had been increased to [...]
There is a lot of talk about access to justice. The usual understanding when we hear the phrase "access to justice" is when someone who cannot afford representation be accorded representation. A person cannot be left without a fair trial just because he cannot afford a lawyer. This is where pro bono work comes in. [...]
Another year goes by without the SUSS School of Law winning the CJ's Cup... In the 2026 edition of the CJ's Cup, we were eliminated in the semi-finals by eventual champions Wong Partnership and eventually placed fourth. Well it was not all gloomy. We managed to make it out of the group stage two years [...]
Law school was actually quite fun. It is quite refreshing to go through being a student once again. It kind of pushes your mid life crisis further down the road. There is something invigorating about learning. I enjoyed it even though a lot of discipline was required. I have heard people comment that I usually [...]
This is going to be a very different post... I found the study of Law in SUSS to be easier than the study of Economics in NUS. Even though I was studying full time in NUS and was working while pursuing a law degree in SUSS, I found that I was better able to concentrate [...]

I started training with Meritus Law LLC on 7 July 2025. 6 months came and gone in a flash. If you were to ask me for a place to get a good head start in the legal industry, I would recommend Meritus Law in a heartbeat. Let me take stock of just some of the [...]
Being a trainee is tough. In my quest to get called to the bar, perhaps this is the toughest. Law school was generally a breeze compared to being a trainee. The faculty at the SUSS School of Law is very understanding that most of the students juggle school with work and family. It is not [...]
I get questions like "how does the SUSS School of Law compare to the other two local law schools?" or "what is the perception of the SUSS School of Law in comparison with the other two law schools". Let me first be clear that all three law schools from NUS, SMU and SUSS, are distinctly [...]
Finally! I am done (hopefully) with studying! In 2021 I embarked on pursuing a law degree with the SUSS School of Law. Since then I have been diligently putting in the work to obtain the law degree that would enable me to take the Part B bar exams. Step 1: Fulfil rule 6 of the [...]
