More than 320 foreign-trained lawyers have applied to the National University of Singapore to attend a course under a new scheme by the Law Ministry that speeds up entry for them to practise law here.In the past, law graduates who returned to Singapore from foreign universities could practise law only after completing the Diploma in Singapore Law course which takes a year.The change allows law graduates who studied overseas and have at least two years of recognised legal experience to be called to the Bar, after passing what is known as Part A of the Bar examination. Wish them good luck for Part B examination.

Wow, so many lawyers come to Singapore to earn a living.
What will happen to our own Singapore lawyers.
You need to be street smart to fight for the same pie of market.
The government cannot forever protect the local lawyers.
They must fend for themselves in future.
This is called free market practices.
