Singapore Law Watch - It took four years to learn I'm no lawyer

I think this article can inform TS on the realities of law practice in Singapore. Even an above average NUS Law student is having difficulties getting into Corporate Law.

"I had hoped to join one of the big firms, but since I finished only above average in my law class, that didn't happen - the big guys took in mainly the best graduates and, it seemed, the pedigreed.

The rest of us ended up in smaller firms and had two choices - to do conveyancing (dealing with people buying or selling property) or litigation (everything else under the sun). Mergers and acquisitions, hostile takeovers, corporate litigation and other sexy legal stuff did not usually happen at the smaller firms."

I think the TS would agree that the University of Leeds isn't exactly your first-tier UK approved university, so I would think that it can be difficult for TS if you are aiming to specialise in an area that all the best and brightest are aiming for.
