Singapore may have a third law school with an aim to train lawyers who are keen on practising community law such as criminal and family law. This is one of the recommendations from the steering committee tasked to look into increasing the number of lawyers in Singapore and will be reviewed by the Law Ministry in consultation with the Education Ministry. At a news conference on Tuesday, Law and Foreign Affairs Minister, K. Shanmugam said that studies done by the committee showed that at present, there is a significant demand of lawyers who practise community law. He said that if no measures were taken to address this, the shortage will be made worse. "You produce the same type of students, as what SMU and NUS produces, and they have gravitated primarily to corporate law litigation, and that's why the smaller law firms have had great difficulties attracting them." With the current law schools in NUS and SMU, the committee has recommended an increase in the annual law undergraduate intake at SMU to 180 students over 3 years, up from the current 120, which the government has accepted.
