I understand that all are based on English common law. But I've also been told that being based in singapore, it would be better for me to go to a UK school since SG follows the same legal system as the UK. So what exactly is the diff btwn UK and US law schools if both are based on English common law (according to wiki)? And if there IS a difference, which system do Aust unis follow?

If you get your LLB from UK universities, when you go back to Singapore you need to obtain the Graduate Diploma in Singapore Law (1 year programme) and Postgraduate Practical Law Course (5 month programme) before you can start your pupillage/apprenticeship. Cons: Time required to complete the whole journey is longer than time required to complete LLB with local universities in Singapore (NUS or SMU). Pros: UK law degree is widely acceptable in jurisdictions like Malaysia, HK, Australia. If you have LLB from UK universities, you just need to take a module of Australian Constitutional Law if you want to do your pupillage in Australia. .
