Why this matters

Singapore Academy of Law is the citation standard for Singapore courts, law schools and legal publishers. Wrong citation form costs marks at undergraduate level and credibility in practice. This tool stays free forever — paywalls go around briefs and AI tutoring, not basic citation hygiene.
