Letter from the Dean 2020 by NUS Law

Letter from the Dean March 2020

Dear Members of the NUS Law Community, Lee Sheridan, founding Dean of what is now NUS Law, once said that the aim of a law school is not the ease and comfort of its professors and students: its aim is their education. None of my colleagues or our students would say that life at NUS Law is easy or overly comfortable. As we strive to be one of the best law schools in the world, we must constantly innovate, pushing boundaries in teaching and research. Today’s students are acutely aware that the job market is more competitive than ever, with competition coming not merely from other law graduates but from computers that can do in seconds what used to take junior lawyers hours or days. We embrace these challenges. One of the signature events of 2019 was the launch of our new Centre for Technology, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence & the Law (TRAIL). Senior Minister of State Edwin Tong SC ’94 officiated, together with Director Daniel Seng ’92, and Deputy Directors David Tan from NUS Law and Chang Ee-Chien from the NUS School of Computing. TRAIL promotes inter-disciplinary research into the many questions associated with IT, AI, data analytics, and robotics in the practice of law.

Far from being replaced by robots, our students are positioning themselves to be the ones designing them and giving them instructions. Those students continue to surprise and impress in other areas, from creating new opportunities for pro bono service to extraordinary success in mooting and other competitions. And, as always, I’m inspired by and proud of my colleagues and our alumni — and the impact that they have through their teaching, their research, and their contributions to the community. I hope that this annual letter, my ninth as Dean, offers a taste of what has been happening on campus and beyond — and perhaps it will inspire you to get more involved yourself, or to support us using the form on the last page.

Leadership Jaclyn Neo ’03 and Arif Jamal were appointed Director and Deputy Director respectively of the Centre for Asian Legal Studies with effect from 1 January 2020. Under its new leadership, CALS launched a new research cluster of ‘Comparative Civil Law in Asia’, which extends the Centre’s research agenda into comparative studies of civil law.

M Sornarajah’s latest book The Misery of International Law (OUP, 2018) was awarded the European Society of International Law Book Prize. Written with John Linarelli and Margot Salomon, the book addresses how international law and its regimes of trade, investment, finance, as well as human rights, are implicated in the construction of misery, and how international law is producing, reproducing, and embedding injustice and narrowing the alternatives that might really serve humanity. Eleanor Wong ’85 and Benny Tan ’12 were awarded the NUS Annual Teaching Excellence Award (ATEA) for their high level of commitment and dedication to their teaching. The ATEA highlights the importance that NUS accords to teaching and sends clear signals to the teaching community about what the institution regards as high quality teaching.

Student Achievements It was another outstanding year for our students in mooting and other competitions. I’m particularly pleased that so many of our students got to experience these competitions — often through the generosity of alumni and other donors who support the costs of taking part.

Pro Bono & Clinical Legal Education Our students do not merely aspire to winning competitions while at law school. Many of them are committed to making an impact on their community also. We support them in these endeavours, including through our Centre for Pro Bono & Clinical Legal Education, led by Lim Lei Theng ’92 and Ruby Lee ’85. A new five-year pro bono legal services programme called Arts in Clinical Education (ARTICLE) was launched pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed on 5 April 2019 between NUS Law and Singapore’s Visual Arts Cluster’s three institutions, Singapore Art Museum (SAM), National Gallery Singapore and the STPI-Creative Workshop & Gallery. The MOU is a collaborative effort that matches the skills and talents of NUS Law clinical staff and students with the legal needs of these institutes of Signing of MOU for Arts in Clinical Education (ARTICLE) public character, and will provide valuable experience to our students as well as a valuable service to Singapore’s arts sector. The signing of the MOU was witnessed by Senior Minister of State for Law and Health Edwin Tong SC ’94 at an event held in conjunction with the 4th Annual NUS Pro Bono Awards, where 13 NUS Law students and a mentor were recognised for their outstanding leadership and contributions in pro bono projects. The Public Interest Law Network (PILnet) Global Forum fosters a collaborative global network for promoting access to justice, offering presentations, trainings, interactive workshops, awards and social events. In the 2019 edition, Helena Whalen-Bridge LLM ‘02, Justin Foo ‘22, and Damian Quek ‘22 represented NUS Pro Bono Group (PBG) on the panel ‘Law Students: Pro Bono’s Next Generation’. Pro bono enthusiasts across Southeast Asia attended the inaugural Law Students’ Pro Bono Conference held from 1 to 4 July 2019 to promote and advance the spirit of pro bono amongst law students in the region. This edition of the regional conference was jointly organised by the students at PBG and Asian Law Students’ Association (ALSA) Singapore. In January 2019, NUS Law PBG collaborated with Thammasat University (TU) Pro Bono Society (PBS) and Human Rights and Development Foundation (HRDF) to participate in Thai-ed with Love 2019, a cross-border pro bono project sponsored by Linklaters (Thailand) Ltd. The objectives were to increase legal awareness, empowering legal rights amongst Burmese migrant workers in Thailand, and share PBG’s experience with TU PBS to support their development of long-term pro bono projects.

Alumni Relations & Development Throughout our history, NUS Law has benefited from the many achievements our alumni, who continue to make us proud and to inspire future generations of law students.

In the arts and theatre scene, Jeremiah Choy ’87 received the Best Supporting Actor Award in the Straits Times Life Theatre Awards 2019, an achievement made all the more remarkable since his role in Leda and The Rage marked his first return to acting in 18 years. Apart from to serving as role models to inspire our students, we are deeply grateful for the strong support we receive from our alumni each year. Alumni return to NUS Law to give of their time and expertise as mentors, adjunct professors, coaches for moot competitions, speakers at our career talks, and advisors to student groups such as the Pro Bono Group.

Our Law Alumni Mentor Programme (LAMP) is now in its eighth year, and 151 alumni have volunteered this year to mentor a total of 174 students (including first year, second year and LLM students). Students have shared with us the difference that LAMP has made to them in their journey through law school, and I want to express my deep appreciation to all our alumni mentors for your willingness to help your juniors. Our alumni and other supporters also made important financial contributions to support future generations of NUS Law students. Most recently, we were thrilled to launch the Wee Chong Jin Moot Court, named after Singapore’s first Chief Justice, and the longest-serving Chief Justice in the Commonwealth. Made possible by the generous support of various donors, including Mrs Cecilia Wee and family, it is our hope that the Wee Chong Jin Moot Court will serve to honour Chief Justice Wee’s legacy and inspire future generations of students as they learn and practise advocacy in a chamber named after him.

The Justice, Mercy & Humility Bursary was established with a gift from Audrey Chiang Ju Hua ’95 and Yeong Zee Kin ’97. This Bursary was named after the theme verse (Micah 6:8) of the Varsity Christian Fellowship, in which both Zee Kin and Audrey were active during their undergraduate days, and they hope to encourage these values in each recipient. Our very own Walter Woon ’81 also established a bursary in memory of his late father, the Woon Eng Chwee Memorial Bursary, in the hope that this would go some way towards helping law students complete their undergraduate studies without having to worry about finances. Chandra Mohan K Nair ‘76 and Susan de Silva ‘83 established the Chandra Mohan K Nair Scholarship to recognise and encourage exceptional personal qualities — such as honour, courage and integrity — in NUS Law students as much as their scholastic achievements. The past year saw a bumper crop of new prizes, with Singapore Academy of Law creating a new prize, the Singapore Academy of Law Prize for Singapore Law in Context. Allen & Gledhill LLP set up the Allen & Gledhill Prize in Company Law, while Helmsman LLC established the Helmsman Singapore Prize in Maritime Law. Several more are in the pipeline, and we are delighted to be able to establish these prizes to recognise and encourage the hard work and academic achievements of our students. Anniversary reunions have always been a hallmark in our calendar. There were a good number of reunions held last year, with the Classes of 1979, 1989, 1999 and 2009, as well as the LLM Class of 2009 celebrating their milestone anniversaries. In April, I was pleased to meet many of our alumni at the reunion in Kuala Lumpur, while Vice Dean David Tan caught up with our alumni at a cosy gathering in New York. We hope that these reunions not only allow us to reconnect with alumni near and far, but also enable you to form new bonds with one another.

Class of 1989

Many of these classes take the opportunity to support future generations of law students. During their 30th Anniversary reunion, for example, the Class of 1989 came together in a concerted effort to fund-raise towards a class bursary, and managed to raise more than S$76,000. This class bursary will support needy students with a bursary starting from Academic Year 2020/2021 onwards.

This year, the Classes of 1990 and 2000 are planning for their celebrations, so please keep a lookout for more details. In addition, we are planning an alumni reunion in New Delhi later this year. Details of the reunion will be shared soon, so if you are based in or around New Delhi or heading there for work or pleasure, we hope to see you then! If you belong to the Class of 1965, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985, 1995, 2005 or 2010, please contact us if you are interested in celebrating your own anniversary and we can help you to plan the gathering. As we have made some adjustments to the support provided for reunions, do contact Jo-Ann Chan ’97 (joann.chan@ nus.edu.sg; 6601 2248) to find out more. We also hope to be able to meet with our overseas alumni on a regular basis, so if you are currently residing overseas and would like to work with us on a reunion in your area, we would love to hear from you. I cannot overstate how much our alumni have contributed to the successes of NUS Law. Your achievements inspire and challenge us all, raising our profile and establishing our reputation. The opportunities you create for our students, through advice, internships, and employment are what transform these young men and women into lawyers. Your financial support makes possible our mission of being one of the very best law schools in the world — while making sure that no deserving student is left behind. The NUS Law Student Support Fund is the focus of our fund-raising efforts in 2020 with the goal of enabling all of our students to make the most of the opportunities available without being held back by finances. If you would like to make a contribution, a donation form is attached to this letter. If you would like to discuss any of the ways in which you might advance the mission of NUS Law, please feel free to contact Jo-Ann Chan ’97 (joann.chan@nus.edu.sg; 6601 2248) or myself directly.

Stay in Touch I hope that you find these annual updates on NUS Law interesting. If you would like to know more, or if you think there may be ways in which you could get involved with the Faculty, please do not hesitate to let me know. On behalf of all of us at NUS Law, we wish you and your loved ones the best for 2020. May it bring you peace, happiness and fulfilment.
