SINGAPORE — Minister for Law K Shanmugam has welcomed the announcement that SIM University (UniSIM) will be hosting the country’s third law school.
“In May, I welcomed the recommendations of the 4th Committee on the Supply of Lawyers,” wrote Mr Shanmugam on his Facebook page.
“One of the key recommendations made was the need to establish a new law school to focus on training prospective lawyers keen to practise criminal and matrimonial law,” he said.
He added that it would also provide Singaporeans interested in a career in the law with “more opportunities and a new pathway to fulfil their career aspirations”.
Meanwhile, Dean of the National University of Singapore’s Law Faculty Simon Chesterman said he looks forward to working with his counterparts at UniSIM to strengthen and deepen legal education in Singapore.
Professor Chesterman said the new programme will increase options for Singaporean students with a passion for law, and help ensure access to justice for all.
The third law school is expected to take in 75 students
