Life in SUSS SOL is really very hectic. Not because of school work alone but a confluence of factors, mainly work-related. When I meet friends that are furthering their studies in the midst of their careers, I've always wondered how it would be like juggling studies and work. I can now attest that this is [...]
Today, Singapore celebrates its 56th birthday! Citizens rejoice for having an extended weekend. We working adults rejoice for having an extra day off work, to finish our TMAs. Semester 2 started weeks ago, and we are in the thick of TMA & PCQ action. If anything, Boot Camp in Semester 1 was merely an appetizer. [...]
The first semester actually went by in a flash. There were three things that I had to get used to and I think this would come in handy for future batches coming into SUSS School of Law. Always remember that you're a student You are no longer the boss you may be at your workplace. [...]

This syndrome plagues everyone including some of us who are pursuing this law degree, perhaps past our prime. I, [...]
Perhaps now it's an appropriate time to share how JustFollowLaw.com came about. I am a fledgling law student in a fledgling law school. I turn 40 this year and my last experience as an undergraduate some 19 years ago is already a distant memory. My main regret was that I did not take many photos [...]
Saw this on Twitter awhile back, gave me a good chuckle! Semester 1 down, many more to go! Watching "Law School" while actually in law school was interesting. Being a drama series, its natural for scenes and scenarios to be exaggerated. Later episodes of the drama brought up a sensitive but important issue – sexual [...]
