Does law graduates in Singapore have a lack of job?
-
Mawar:
Go for it if there is passion or interest. The same applies to any field of study. Even if she did not end up a lawyer, the training would put her in good stead in whatever field she chooses.
agree, go for it for the passion and not for the $$$; just be prepared for competition before, during and after graduation. starters, local uni entry score AAA/A + written test + interview. -
law graduate from the LSE can practise law in singapore?
-
Not if you have a recognised degree from SMU and NUS. Not all law schools are approved by the Ministry of Law. For instance, even if you have an external degree in law offered by the University of London, you are still not allowed to practise law in Singapore.

Is there an over supply of law graduates in Sg now, until hard to find jobs ?
If cant find law firm to hire them, what other job can they turn to, besides teach English ? -
phtthp:
Anything, really, as long as it's not technical. Whatever job someone with a Business or Arts degree could do is possible. Jobs my law graduate friends have variously done: tax consultant, corporate secretary, journalist, entrepreneur, tutor (predictably, English, Lit and GP), librarian, writer, actor, film sub-titler, civil servant, police officer. Some started out as lawyers and moved on, but some never worked as lawyers at all. And banks and commercial corporations often like people with legal knowledge in some non-lawyer posts.Is there an over supply of law graduates in Sg now, until hard to find jobs ?

Big MNCs now set up their own legal departments instead of outsourcing to legal firms.

there will always be lots of jobs for lawyers, be it practicing or in-house. in-house less stress, and more are going this direction.

Saw on news last nite that there is a over supply of law graduates.
Don’t seem a good choice to go into Law now?
