The headquarters of the Law Society of Singapore at South Bridge Road

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."
