The Singapore Management University School of Law (SMU School of Law) is one of the six schools of Singapore Management University. It was set up as Singapore's second law school in 2007, 50 years after the National University of Singapore Faculty of Law and 10 years before Singapore University of Social Sciences School of Law. Before becoming a full-fledged law school covering all major areas of the law, the school was a Law Department within the School of Business between 2000 and 2007. It now offers a four-year undergraduate single Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree programme, and a double degree programme combining the law degree programme with one of SMU's existing non-law programmes: accountancy, business, economics, information systems, or social sciences; students can also do a second major. In addition to the LLB, the school offers a full-time two- to three-year graduate Juris Doctor (JD) programme as well as a Master of Laws (LLM) programme. The Dual LLM in Commercial Law, which confers LLM degrees from Queen Mary University of London and SMU, was launched in 2015.
The school took in around 120 students between 2007 and 2013.[1] The intake after 2014 rose to more than 150, but is expected to be capped at 180 for LLB students. Admission to the law programme is competitive. In the 2015 University Admissions Exercise, both the 10th and 90th percentile had an Indicative Grade Profile (of Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level qualifications) of AAA/A; approximately 1,300 applicants were shortlisted for an interview and a written test.[2][3]
In terms of student achievements, since the launch of its international moots programme in 2010, the school has been to the championship final of the largest and most established international moot court competitions including the Jessup (2013 and 2014), Vis (2015 and 2016), Vis East (2015 and 2016), Price (2010, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018), ICC (2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018), Frankfurt (2015 and 2017), IHL (2016), and International Maritime Law Arbitration Moot (2016). The school has also won on numerous occasions regional moots such as the LAWASIA and Asia Cup competitions. It holds the world records for most number of international moot championship finals in a season and most number of international moot championships in a season.
Based on the 2017 Graduate Employment Survey, 97.6% of the school's graduates found employment; the school's graduates also commanded the highest mean basic monthly salary among all schools in the university.[4] Alumni of the school are very well-represented in the major law firms, the Supreme Court Justices' Law Clerk scheme, and postgraduate studies in leading universities such as Harvard and Oxford.
History and milestones
The School of Law was preceded by the Law Department, which was created in 2000 and part of the university's Lee Kong Chian School of Business, and headed by Professor Andrew Phang (now Judge of Appeal, Supreme Court of Singapore).[5] A full-fledged law school was established in 2007 – 50 years after the establishment of the first and then-only law school in Singapore, National University of Singapore Faculty of Law — following a major review by the government that concluded there was a shortage of qualified legal personnel in Singapore.[6][7] The school's first dean was Professor Michael Furmston, a leading authority on contracts and commercial law in the Commonwealth.[8] He headed the school from its inception in 2007 to 2012. Professor Yeo Tiong Min SC was then the dean from 2012 to 2017.[9][10] Associate Professor Goh Yihan has been the dean since 2017.[11] Other significant milestones in the school's history include:

The Advisory Board provides advisory assistance to the School of Law and includes Supreme Court judges, senior litigators, corporate lawyers, managing partners of law firms and partners of foreign law firms. The Advisory Board is currently chaired by former Judge of Appeal and Attorney-General VK Rajah SC.[21]
Centres
The school houses five centres: the Centre for AI and Data Governance (CAIDG), the Applied Research Centre for Intellectual Assets and the Law in Asia (ARCIALA), the Centre for Cross-Border Commercial Law In Asia (CEBCLA), the Singapore International Dispute Resolution Academy (SIDRA), and the Pro Bono Centre (PBC).
Programmes
Undergraduate and postgraduate
Bachelor of Laws (LLB)
To be admitted to the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programme, applicants should have good passes in their respective GCE A-Level subjects. Specifically, the minimum requirement for a law applicant is an A or a B for H1 General Paper or H2 Knowledge and Inquiry. SMU releases Indicative Grade Profiles periodically for potential candidates. In the 2015 University Admissions Exercise, both the 10th and 90th percentile had an Indicative Grade Profile (of 3H2/1H1 content-based subjects) of AAA/A.[2] Potential candidates are called for a short written test and a group interview.
The LLB programme is a four-year programme; it is also possible to enrol in the double degree programme (combining law with accountancy, business, economics, information systems, or social sciences). Almost all students are required to complete a total of 36 course units, which comprise five compulsory course units from the University Core, 19 compulsory course units from the Law Core, seven course units from Law Electives, and five course units from law-related courses like Financial Accounting and Finance for Law. Students must also complete ten weeks of internship and 80 hours of community service to graduate.
The university has exchange agreements with more than 200 universities worldwide, while the law school is partnered with dozens of law schools such as Peking University, University of New South Wales, University of San Diego, and University of St Gallen for direct law-to-law exchange.
Juris Doctor (JD)
Introduced in 2009, the SMU Juris Doctor programme was started as an additional route for persons who already have a degree in another discipline or a law degree not recognised for the purpose of admission to the Singapore Bar to become members of the Singapore legal profession.
Applicants must have completed at least three years of full-time undergraduate education. For non-law graduates or law graduates from civil law countries or non-gazetted universities from common law countries, applicants must have at least a Cum Laude or Second Class Upper Honours degree qualifications. Furthermore, applicants must show proficiency in the English language. A TOEFL/IELTS/SAT 1 test is required if the applicant's undergraduate degree was not taken in English.
SMU's JD curriculum is a mix of compulsory law courses and electives. Similar to all SMU undergraduates, six weeks of internship and 50 hours of community service are required for graduation. Students are required to complete a total of 25 Credit Units of law courses, following the same academic calendar as the Bachelor of Laws programme. Although students are expected to complete the programme within three years, the programme may be accelerated.

Master of Laws (LLM)
There are three LLM options: the LLM in Cross-Border Business and Finance Law in Asia, the Dual LLM in Commercial Law (Singapore and London), and the LLM in Judicial Studies. The first two options are one-year programmes while the dual LLM is a 15-month programme where students split their time between SMU and Queen Mary University of London.
Professional
The SMU Law Academy or SMULA runs seminars on developments in the law for the legal profession; attendees receive Continuing Professional Development points. Courses taught to the LLB, JD, and LLM students may also be audited.
Pedagogy
SMU School of Law adopts a seminar-style teaching approach, similar to that in US law schools. This requires students to put in a substantial amount of pre-class preparatory reading and thinking, and to participate actively during class. Course assessment is holistic, with significant emphasis on class participation and presentations, and the weightage of written final examinations is kept to a maximum of 60%.
Faculty contributions
Faculty regularly appear as amicus curiae before courts in Singapore and overseas. Examples include Gary Chan (tort law),[22] Goh Yihan (contract law),[23] Locknie Hsu (investment arbitration),[24] David Llewelyn (intellectual property), and Yeo Tiong Min (conflict of laws). The faculty have also authored various leading texts regularly cited by the courts, such as The Law of Torts in Singapore by Gary Chan and The Law of Contract in Singapore by Goh Yihan et al.
Student performance
International moot competitions
Since the launch of its international moots programme in 2010, the school has been to the championship final of the largest and most established international moot court competitions: Jessup (2013 and 2014), Vis (2015 and 2016), Vis East (2015 and 2016), Price (2010, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018), ICC (2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018), Frankfurt (2015 and 2017), IHL (2016), and International Maritime Law Arbitration Moot (2016). As of July 2018, SMU has emerged champions 23 times, 1st-runner-up 22 times, and 2nd-runner-up 20 times in international moot competitions, in addition to winning hundreds of Best Oralist and Best Memorial prizes and 14 national round championships (including five Jessup national titles in the last six years).[25][26] It set a world record of eight international moot finals in a single season in 2014/15 (winning a world record five), a feat it bettered in 2015/16 when it reached nine international moot finals.[25][27][28] It also became the first university in the history of international moots to successfully defend a major moot international title when it won back-to-back championships in the ICC moot in 2015 and 2016; it became the second university to do the same when it won back-to-back championships in the Price moot in 2016 and 2017.[29][27][30]
