rdf:langString The Singapore University of Social Sciences School of Law (SUSS School of Law) is an autonomous school of Singapore University of Social Sciences. It was established as Singapore's third law school in 2017 after the NUS Faculty of Law and the SMU School of Law. The school was established to address the shortage of practitioners in family and criminal law. In 2018, it was reported that of the 60 pioneer SUSS law students, seven have dropped out or deferred their studies setting the attrition rate at 10%. It offers a 4.5 to 6 years undergraduate Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree programme, and a 4 to 6 years graduate Juris Doctor (JD) programme. The school also offers the Master of Taxation (MTax) programme in collaboration with the Tax Academy of Singapore (TA). For entry to its LLB or JD programmes, aspiring students must have taken The Law National Aptitude Test (LNAT) conducted in the relevant year of application. Aspiring students must also go through an interview conducted by the SUSS School of Law and submit an essay (written under supervision) during the admissions process. There is no minimum LNAT score to be eligible for admission into the LLB or JD programmes but a demonstration of aptitude to practice law must be shown.
