A very good question suggesting the usage of subjunctive mood. What is subjunctive mood? The subjunctive mood expresses a wish or a doubt or a command. Subjunctive normally takes a singular.
So, Laws require that a judge allow public defenders .... is proper.
more examples
I suggest that John study the book before asking these doubts.
I require that Jane ask this question before she starts.

This is a command subjunctive mood, and hence the raw form of verb is used.
In case you are not aware of command subjunctive, here is a brief:
There are certain bossy verbs such as demand, require etc. that require a command subjunctive mood, i,e. the verb within the demand or requirement takes up the raw form.
I demand that he go there....correct
I demand that he goes there.... wrong.
For more details on command subjunctive, read a good GMAT guide such as Manhattan SC guide.
