Law Society of Singapore
The Law Society of Singapore is the organisation that represents all lawyers in Singapore. It publishes the Law Gazette and operates a scheme for needy people to benefit from legal services free-of-charge.[1] The Society also sets out rules for how lawyers should advertise.[2] The Law Society is analogous to what is called the Bar Association in many countries.
The society motto is "An Advocate for the Profession, An Advocate for the Community."
