Does this include Suss too?

That’s exactly what I meant from my earlier post -

The 2 SG law schools produce the excellent SG lawyers which SG law firms - so what exactly is the problem here?? Why disagree?

They have strong A levels, good results from the interview process, and probably good law school or CCA participation - why would HR look at the not so good unis?
