Halsbury’s Laws of Singapore (Lexis/Butterworths) provides a detailed summary of Singapore law.

LawNet explains the various kinds of Singapore case law. Justis has case law from the revised and current Singapore Law Reports, covering decisions of the Singapore Court of Appeal, High Court, and Constitutional Tribunal (1965-current). Note: TheSingapore Law Reports are published by the Singapore Academy of Law. The Academy was not satisfied with the headnotes on the cases published from 1965 to 2009, so they improved the headnotes and issued a “revised” edition of those volumes, cited as “SLR(r)”. Cases since 2009 have been published with adequate editorial features and should not need revision.
