The Rodyk Moots marked my first-ever experience witnessing the ten best mooters within my batch (champs of their respective LAWR issues, also otherwise known as, the LAWR bellcurve gods) in a battle of wit and courage. Despite the Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune casted upon them by the judges, all ten mooters skillfully defended...
Sim Bing Wen Age: 23 Junior College: RJC Relationship status: Single Mugging hours/week: 30-40 School-Related Justified: What kinds of foods do you recommend for aspiring juniors hoping to land a spot on the dean’s list? Okay but seriously, in light of the perennial lamentations about the Summit, what kinds of food there are, in your...
I contemplated making a pun out of “Bar”, but figured it would be too cheesy. In the second instalment of our LCS dinner series, we found ourselves at the Marina Bay Link Mall after an intense round of negotiations over Thai vegetables. All that talk about food got us hungry, so we googlemapped our way...
As dusk descended upon the Upper Quad of NUS Bukit Timah Campus, a rowdy carnivalesque atmosphere, not unfamiliar to most Law students, was bubbling beneath the serenity and halcyon of campus. Onlookers watched from the perimeter of the field the ongoing battle for Captain’s Ball supremacy while a battle of wits and nerves raged elsewhere...
I almost could not find a seat when I entered the moot court. That made me really excited. After pulling a random chair from the side of the moot court, I sat down and waited for the bench to make their arrival. In fact, I took up this assignment in part to see the bench...
For many of us, the thought of getting moots over and done with may be the only thing that will get us through the next two weeks. But, as our seniors can attest, LAWR moots are only the beginning. Mooting is an integral part of law school and with the multitude of moot competitions available...
It’s not very often that Law students get to make a trip into town (no, U-Town does not count). It’s one of those things that seniors and friends don’t warn you about before you enter Law school, in the exuberance of receiving the acceptance letter. But in all unlikelihood, the powers that be decided that...
It was a dark and stormy night. Simply walking past the Summit, one could sense the forces of evil threatening to destroy the peace of the school. Entering the Moot Court, one would witness bizarre events: a fish swimming through the air… the Malayan Law Journal (MLJ) singing tribal African music…a rolling in the deep…...
It’s about four weeks to battle. We speak to some members of the faculty, and ask them about how they managed to survive the bell curve when they were in law school, as they share with us the tips and tricks of getting ahead of the game to get your hands on that coveted A+....
Disclaimer: This article is not intended to replace your LAWR tutorials. As the semester draws to a close, there is a growing sense of anxiety in the air. The source of this anxiety? The LAWR moots. Whether the issue is defamation or negligence, appellants and respondents alike are filled with dread at the thought of...
You might be thinking you know what KPOP is all about. You’ve heard of PSY, and you even know how to dance to Gangnam Style. Alas, that is but the tip of the iceberg. It’s like saying you’re Japanese because you watch Doraemon. Or you’re British because you listen to One Direction. Okay, maybe those are not the...
Editor’s note: Like fellow headline-maker President Barack Obama, Team Law showed that they were capable of playful banter and witty comebacks at the LAWMED 2013 Debates, while Team Med was busy looking for their ulnar nerve. To those readers who had enough school spirit to be present in the Block B Auditorium on the evening of the...
