There is a lot of talk about access to justice. The usual understanding when we hear the phrase "access to justice" is when someone who cannot afford representation be accorded representation. A person cannot be left without a fair trial just because he cannot afford a lawyer. This is where pro bono work comes in. [...]
Another year goes by without the SUSS School of Law winning the CJ's Cup... In the 2026 edition of the CJ's Cup, we were eliminated in the semi-finals by eventual champions Wong Partnership and eventually placed fourth. Well it was not all gloomy. We managed to make it out of the group stage two years [...]
Law school was actually quite fun. It is quite refreshing to go through being a student once again. It kind of pushes your mid life crisis further down the road. There is something invigorating about learning. I enjoyed it even though a lot of discipline was required. I have heard people comment that I usually [...]
This is going to be a very different post... I found the study of Law in SUSS to be easier than the study of Economics in NUS. Even though I was studying full time in NUS and was working while pursuing a law degree in SUSS, I found that I was better able to concentrate [...]

I get questions like "how does the SUSS School of Law compare to the other two local law schools?" or "what is the perception of the SUSS School of Law in comparison with the other two law schools". Let me first be clear that all three law schools from NUS, SMU and SUSS, are distinctly [...]
Finally! I am done (hopefully) with studying! In 2021 I embarked on pursuing a law degree with the SUSS School of Law. Since then I have been diligently putting in the work to obtain the law degree that would enable me to take the Part B bar exams. Step 1: Fulfil rule 6 of the [...]
Law school is not all about studying. In fact, I remember all the games I played more than what was taught during the tutorials. Those who are close to me will attest that I am a person who will do what needs to be done but I am not obsessed with grades. In fact, if [...]
I am done with law school! Four enjoyable years are over and I miss the SUSS School of Law already. I am happy with my final score considering I was simultaneously working full time, growing my company and fulfilling my duties to my family. My sole stain on my transcript would be that particular social [...]
