Under the Legal Profession Act, admission to the Singapore Bar is confined to 'qualified persons' and it is the Board of Legal Education ('BLE') which determines whether or not you are a qualified person. For information on the qualifications to be admitted to the Singapore Bar, please refer to the BLE website.

The role of the Law Society is to determine fitness of character for admission after you have filed and served the application for admission as an advocate and solicitor on the Law Society. If you have any queries on how to qualify to be a lawyer or whether your qualification entitles you to be admitted to the Singapore Bar, please e-mail BLE at blegale@singnet.com.sg.

To assist supervising solicitors and practice trainees in addressing issues frequently arising from applications for admission as advocates and solicitors, the Admissions Committee of the Law Society has prepared a list of Frequently Asked Questions. Click here to see the FAQs.
