| Q: |
How
many pupils do you intend to look for this year? |
| A: |
We
are presently looking for up to 5 pupils to join
our ranks. |
| |
|
| Q: |
What
is your retention rate? |
| A: |
We
recruit pupils with every intent to retain suitable
candidates as legal associates upon their admission
to the Singapore Bar. |
| |
|
| Q: |
When
should I apply for my pupillage position? |
| A: |
If
you are a local student, you should do so after
completing your third year of law school during
the June holidays or as and when your class committee
informs you that you may do so. If you are a foreign
university law graduate, you should apply for pupillage
after you complete your law degree overseas but
before you pursue your Diploma in Singapore Law
programme in NUS. We do not distinguish between
local and foreign graduates from approved universities
in relation to an application for a pupillage position. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Who
will I be working for during my pupillage? |
| A: |
All
pupils will be given a pupil master and be assigned
to a mentor. The mentor will be in charge of guiding
and supervising you during your stay in the corporation. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Will
I be rotated? |
| A: |
Yes,
depending on the needs and requirements of our corporation,
pupils can request to be assigned to 2 areas of
practice during the course of their 6 month pupillage
with us. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Can
I choose not to rotate and spend my entire pupillage
in 1 area of practice? |
| A: |
Yes
you may, depending on the needs and requirements
of the particular area of practice. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Will
I be part-called? |
| A: |
Depending
on the needs and requirements of our corporation,
we encourage each and every pupil to be part-called
as this would increase your exposure to legal practice
during your pupillage. |
| |
|
| Q: |
What
if I do not want to be part-called or have no interest
in litigation? Will my allowance differ from another
pupil who has been part-called? |
| A: |
You
are under no obligation to be part-called if you
do not wish to be so. Even if you are not part-called,
you can expect a corresponding increase to your
allowance as would another pupil in the corporation
who has been part-called. |
| |
|
| Q: |
What
are your official office hours? |
| A: |
Our
office is open from Mondays to Fridays from 9:00am
to 6:15pm and we are closed on Saturdays. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Do
you have a dress code? |
| A: |
Our
dress code is office attire during office hours
from Mondays to Thursdays and smart casual on "dress-down"
Fridays. Please note that if you have client meetings,
functions or Court to attend on a Friday, your dress
code will be office attire. |
