If you go by the list, there is a method and the bias is always towards civil litigation as it is a tougher discipline. Its also the reason why the money is in that field and attracts the best minds. They were not also not ready to open it too quickly to cheapen the position. The sad part is that good lawyers for capital crime cases are no longer in numbers as in the past. I just pity someone who did not do it face the courts.

pala loved the law n was good but i dont think he was that good...had great tickets on himself n was v disappointed that for quite some time he was not given the SC title...recall in one yr, an associate r 2 in his firm pulled off a funny but cruel prank on him by coming up wif docs to show that pala was finally due to be made SC...apparently he then went ard calling up his pals to say that he was finally given his due...crushed when it turned out to be bogus n the associates had to leave his firm...fortunately for pala he was finally made SC before he died...

in pala's case i dont think so...generally on balance the first batch to made SC in 97' set a high benchmark...however later on this benchmark appeared to be diluted to a certain extent due to certain apparent agendas...

Lawyer guilty of misconduct to face Court of Three Judges
A LAWYER found guilty of serious professional misconduct by a disciplinary tribunal will have to face a Court of Three Judges.
Mr Leonard Loo, 41, had undergone a probe by the tribunal on four charges, all linked to services he rendered to the management corporation of the Haig Eleven condominium.
One of the charges involved his denying that he had received a cheque for $800 when he knew it had been received, and failing to issue a receipt for it.
The crossed cheque had been made out to his firm for legal advice rendered, but the management of the condominium which hired him in May 2008 was so dissatisfied with his work that it complained about him to the Law Society just four months later.
Mr Loo did not send the receipt for the cheque even when told to do so by the Law Society in August 2009; he acted on it only in April the following year.
Another charge said he failed to produce a relevant bank statement last January when told to do so by an inquiry committee.
Mr Loo, a lawyer of 15 years' standing, withdrew his practising certificate last April.
He claimed in April 2009 that he had no record of ever receiving the $800 sum, but a preliminary investigation at the time found him to be unhelpful and evasive.
Before the tribunal hearings last year, he had denied all four charges, represented himself and cross-examined four witnesses. He also gave evidence, cross-examined by the Law Society's prosecuting lawyer, Senior Counsel Tan Chee Meng.
The tribunal, comprising retired judge G.P. Selvam and lawyer Tan Chuan Thye, had harsh words for Mr Loo in its report, saying he had 'persistently prevaricated and procrastinated' in responding to directions to produce the relevant clients' account bank statements.
It found he had received the cheque and banked it, and had personally signed the receipt in May 2008. The tribunal noted that it was important for the management corporation to obtain the receipt from Mr Loo, since the officers who made the payment 'could conceivably come under suspicion of misappropriation' without it.
Had Mr Loo sent the receipt in June 2008, there would have been no need for the tribunal, the report said.
A Court of Three Judges, the highest disciplinary body for lawyers, has the power to suspend, fine or order lawyers to be struck off the rolls.

hahaha....dear demi god, pse clarify......don't pretend u did not read this post.
Many people do not know that if you do not have lawyer the court house has free lawyer waiting to help those who cannot afford to pay. These kind souls provide free legal services and may ask to adjourn the case pending further investigation. Some even provide pro bono case.
