What can I gain from this Internship Programme?

You will gain excellent exposure to different perspectives of litigation work in

Singapore, of government litigation work, private litigation work and insights into
judicial work. Various agencies and stakeholders involved in Singapore’s litigation
work will brief you and share their work experiences with you. You will not only have
the opportunity to observe hearings of cases in the Courts, but also to discuss the
cases with the prosecutors, lawyers and judges. You will also have an opportunity to
have a fireside chat with Senior Officers from the Attorney-General's Chambers and
be attached to a Senior Counsel in private practice. You will discover that litigation
work in Singapore is dynamic, challenging, meaningful, and is vital in achieving justice
according to the Rule of Law. This internship is an excellent opportunity and should
not be missed!

Who are we looking for?

Law undergraduates from NUS and SMU (of any year of study) who are interested in
finding out more about litigation work in Singapore and who are considering doing
litigation work after they are qualified to practise law.
