Besides NUS and SMU, no other JD or graduate law programmes are recognised by the Ministry of Law for the purpose of qualifying as a lawyer, so steer clear of law courses provided by private providers. I would caution you to think through embarking on one of these 2 programmes, especially given the recent tizzy over the lack of training contract places in the newspapers after what the Law Minister said. If your purpose is to become a lawyer, that is. A JD/GLB is an expensive endeavour, as you will be paying full course fees without the uni education subsidy. The cost increases dramatically esp. if you already have a good paying job, so think twice about making a mid career switch and forgoing your career accomplishments thus far. You will be competing with law graduates for training places of which there's a shortage, and your prior degree or maturity may or may not help you in securing one. |
