goodbye

helpimlawst (the notes and the forum) is currently deprecated.

long story short, we (helpimlawst admins) and NUS Law Club had differences in opinion as to how the platform should be run, and we parted ways. on 10 Feb 2026, NUS Law Club announced that they were launching a new alternative platform for students to share notes. as NUS Law Club is the representative body for all NUS Law students, we thought it best not to compete and fragment the user base.

at the same time, many users and students may be wondering why the old notes platform (“JE”) was taken down, instead of migrating the old notes to the new platform. the reason why this decision was taken (and not lightly), is because we consider that the material on the old platform is not ours to give away. it was uploaded onto JE with a shared understanding that it would be made freely available to ALL students and alumni, including LLMs and JDs (which was a major point of contention). we believe that Law Club’s approach to the new platform is different enough such that the original consent of the owners of these notes does not extend to migration.

it is thus regrettable and a hassle, but we would urge all students to reupload their notes and muggers onto the new platform at muggers.nuslawclub.com. to be clear, we take the position that students should NOT be uploading notes that belong to other people without their consent. we are considering reaching out (where possible) to owners of the notes we have in our possession to ask for their consent to migrate the notes to the new platform.

the forum will be up shortly and for awhile, if and until NUS Law Club decides to launch an alternative. we direct all users to use the NUS Law Club resources. the old notes platform, JE, will also be up (but behind a password) at old.helpimlawst.com, for anyone that REALLY needs to use it in the meantime. please reach out if you need temporary access to it.

thank you for using our platform – we hope it was of some benefit to everyone!
