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 NUS.

The school is headed by Professor Yeo Tiong Min, Singapore's first Honorary Senior Counsel. The school offers a four-year undergraduate single Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree programme, and a five-year 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. The school also has a full-time two- to three-year graduate Juris Doctor (JD) programme, and offers a Master of Laws (LLM). 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 only 90 students in its first academic year, reaching a steady-state intake of 120 between 2008 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. About 700 applicants out of 1,000 applicants who apply each year are shortlisted for an interview and a written test, with only about 120 admitted each year.[2]

SMU has been to the championship final of all seven largest international moot competitions: Jessup (2013 and 2014), Vis (2015 and 2016), Vis East (2015 and 2016), Price (2010, 2015, and 2016), ICC (2015 and 2016), Frankfurt (2015), and IHL (2016). As of May 2016, in less than five years since its first batch of students graduated in 2011, the law school has won 16 championships and 18 first-runner-up titles in international moot competitions, in addition to nine national round championships.[3] It reached a record eight international moot finals in 2014/15 (winning five), a feat it repeated in 2015/16.[4]

History and milestones

The School of Law was preceded by the Law Department, which was created in 2000, 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, NUS — following the encouragement of the Singapore Government, which had, during a major review, discovered a shortage of qualified legal personnel in Singapore.[6][7] The school's first dean was Professor Michael Furmston, a foremost 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 has been the dean since 2012.[9]

Student performance

International competitions

SMU law students began taking part in international competitions in 2009, two years after the law school was formed. In its first ever international moot competition, SMU came in 1st-runner-up in the 4th edition of the LawAsia arbitration moot in Ho Chi Minh City. A year later, in its debuts in the Price and Asia Cup moots in Oxford and Tokyo respectively, SMU emerged champions for both. SMU mooters have gone on to score various honours in major international competitions, such as winning the Vis East and International Criminal Court moots in 2015, reaching the Vis moot final in 2015 and 2016, and reaching the Jessup moot final in 2013 and 2014. As of May 2016, the school has won 16 championships and 18 first-runner-up titles in international moots, in addition to nine national round championships. The school has also reached the championship final on its international debut in 11 moots, winning six. SMU reached a record eight international moot finals in 2015, a feat it repeated in 2016. It also became the first university to successfully defend a major moot title when it won back-to-back championships in the ICC moot in 2015 and 2016.

Programmes

Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) programme

File:Visit by students from the School of Law, Singapore Management University, to Parliament House, Singapore - 20110309.jpg

Entry requirements

To be admitted to the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) 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 Knowledge Inquiry. SMU releases Indicative Grade Profiles periodically for potential candidates. In the 2012 University Admissions Exercise, both the 10th and 90th percentile had an Indicative Grade Profile (of 3H2/1H1 content-based subjects) of AAA/A.[79] Potential candidates are called for a short written test and a group interview.

Curriculum

The LL.B. programme is a four-year programme. Students are required to complete a total of 36 course units, which include five compulsory course units from the University Core, 19 compulsory course units from the Law Core, a selected seven course units from Law Electives and five other course units from law-related courses like Financial Accounting and Finance For Law.

Graduation requirements

Aside from fulfilling the required curriculum, all SMU students are required to complete compulsory courses from the Finishing Touch programme; a series of required Career Preparation & Enrichment workshops to prepare students for internships and job applications. Further, students must complete ten weeks of internship and 80 hours of community service in order to graduate.

Juris Doctor (J.D.) programme

File:Juris Doctor information session, Ngee Ann Kongsi Auditorium, Singapore Management University - 20150123-01.jpg
Juris Doctor (J.D.) students from the School of Law at an information session introducing the J.D. programme to prospective applicants

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 recognized for the purpose of admission to the Singapore Bar to become members of the Singapore legal profession.

Entry requirements

Applicants have to had 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.

Curriculum and graduation requirements

SMU's J.D. curriculum is a mix of compulsory law courses and electives. Similar to the all SMU undergraduates, six weeks of law 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 for completion in two and a half years (subject to approval).

Master of Laws (LL.M.) programme

The SMU Master of Laws (LL.M.) provides opportunities for persons aspiring to be legal specialists in the fields of Commercial Law, Dispute Resolution, and Islamic Law and Finance. Applicants must have a good LL.B. or J.D. degree and at least two years of professional legal working experience. Those without a basic law degree but who have substantial knowledge of and exposure to law may be considered for admission on a case-by-case basis. Proficiency in the English language must be shown.

The LL.M. is a one-year programme. Participants read a total of eight courses, including two prescribed courses, four specialisation courses and two free electives. Completion of this programme does not qualify graduates for entry to the Singapore Bar.

Asian Peace-Building and Rule of Law Programme

The Asian Peace-building and Rule of Law Programme (APRL) coordinates socio-legal research on the rule of law. It conducts seminars, carries out and supervises innovative scholarly research, and leads direct impact transitional justice initiatives in post-conflict Asian countries. APRL has worked with leading law schools, including Yale Law School and Berkeley Law School.

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. The high level of engagement and interactive classroom pedagogy is aimed at enriching and deepening students' learning, thinking and mastery of a subject, thereby producing confident and articulate graduates.

In line with this focus on student participation, a holistic approach will be adopted for course assessment. Significant emphasis will be given to class participation and presentations, with the weightage of written examinations kept to a maximum of 50%.

The Bar, SMU Law Society

The SMU Law Society,[80] known as "The Bar", is the student representative body of the SMU School of Law. The Management Committee of The Bar consists of eight elected student leaders. In their year-long term in office, the Committee puts together a slew of fun and unique-to-law events against a backdrop of professional and academic development initiatives.

Sub clubs

Criminal Law Club

The Club was founded in early 2012 by a group of students passionate about giving SMU students opportunities to learn more about the criminal law practice. As many students do not have much exposure to this area of law apart from in class, few have a proper idea of what criminal law in practice is like.

International Relations Club

The SMU Law International Relations Club strives to forge and strengthen ties between SMU law students and the international law student community. Club activities include legal discourse, moots and even Mock UN conferences, allowing both conservative and progressive opinions to develop at an international level.

Law Outreach Club

The SMU Law Outreach Club was established by The Bar and the executive committee of the old Pro Bono Club. The Law Outreach Club aims to contribute to the community in aspects beyond pro bono work, and helps to facilitate activities such as the Ministry of Education Moot Parliament Programme and the NUS–SMU "In Session" Dialogue Series. The Club invites students to propose initiatives of service to the community.

Moot Court Club

Established in 2007, SMU Moot Court Club was formed to facilitate the development of mooting in SMU School of Law. During the course of the semester, the Club helps to organise various domestic moot competitions that are open to all law students.

SMU Law Athletes Club (SMULA)

SMU Law Athletes (SMULA) was officially made a sub-club of the Bar in 2012. Some of the highlights for SMULA include the Captain's Ball League; exploratory runs around the city; conducting multiple sports clinics; and tasting gold in the inter-faculty category of SMUX AdRace 2012, a gruelling 40 kilometres (25 mi) overnight adventure race.
