Third law school to train community lawyers

Singapore is to set up a third law school that will emphasise criminal and family law, in a move to address the shortage of lawyers in these fields. It will be geared towards attracting mid-career professionals who want to make law their new career, said Law Minister K. Shanmugam on Tuesday. The school is among six recommendations made by a committee set up in March last year to review the supply of lawyers in Singapore. The five other proposals made by the committee include raising SMU's intake of law students from 120 to 180 over the next three years.
