England & Wales has the right system IMO. Non-law grads can take the GDL conversion course to become solicitors. Heck, apprentices meaning kids who don't even go to uni, can take solicitor apprenticeships to qualify nowadays. Even Magic Circles are running solicitor apprenticeships.

You don't need to have attended some rarefied law school to become a lawyer. Let's stop with this self-aggrandizing illusion tt you need to be super bright or smart to be a lawyer.

SG should follow England's progressive example of allowing A Level grads to qualify as advocates & solicitors thru apprenticeships too.
