SMU School of Law has launched a fund known as the Subhas Anandan Legacy Fund in honour of the late veteran criminal lawyer who died in 2015 at the age of 67. More than $120,000 has been raised for the fund. The sum will go towards a new bursary called the Subhas Anandan Bursary and also support the activities of the SMU Constitutional Law and Criminal Justice Club, which holds events and programmes about contemporary issues related to criminal justice. The bursary, valued at $5,000, will go each year to a Singaporean or Singapore permanent resident from the law school who is in financial need, starting from January 2018.  A room within the SMU Pro Bono Centre, located in the law school, has also been named the Subhas Anandan Room.
