Judge, Jury, Justified

What better way to begin the New Year than a contracts tutorial? Why, Encore of course! After an afternoon of having your mind boggled by the ramblings of H.L.A Hart, the cool evening breeze that greets you as you step out of the library was enough to get...

It was 6.30pm on a Wednesday evening. A time of packing up, a time of leaving school (well, for most of us), a time for heading home. But for the people behind this year’s Law IV Musical, the night had barely begun! My fellow interviewer, Jia Min, and...

You’ve just finished a three-hour marathon tetris battle session/seminar which you didn’t pay attention to. You check your lesson on the timetable and groan accordingly. Three hours? Yes, you haven’t done your readings yet but you’ll be damned if you’re going to. Instead, you...

We Singaporeans are very lucky. We get two chances a year to put on that red dress (or red jeans), pig out on all sorts of food and allow two fat (red, may I add) men dominate our lives. Yes, I am talking about Christmas and Lunar New Year. However,...

It’s only been a couple of weeks but it already feels like we need a break. Badly. TGICNY! But when you get back, there’s something waiting for you. Nope, don’t bother checking your pigeon holes because this one’s way too epic to fit into those sad,...

It is easy to see why Professor Simon Chesterman was selected out of 60 candidates to succeed Professor Tan Cheng Han as Dean. A quick google and some stalking on the school website later, we learnt of his impressive first class honours from Melbourne University in Arts and Law, and...

Jiamin, Kelly and I had the privilege of sitting down with Professor Tan Cheng Han in his new office. As he reached out to shake my hand, all I could think about was…nothing. I was slightly star-struck and very excited about interviewing the (former) Dean. Today is his first...

A month and a half ago I visited a law firm to have a chat with a man I will only describe as far more experienced, far wiser and certainly more humane than I ever will be. He had heard I was undergoing troubles and skimming the details, proffered all...

It’s a brand new year, and with every New Year, people all over the world make resolutions about what they want to accomplish in the next 365 days! However, studies have shown that 83% of people who make such resolutions, in the end, fail to achieve their lofty ambitions,...

Tick, tock.   Seconds pass. The hands of every clock twist tirelessly, their rhythmic clicking creating full circles with each passing motion. There are no changing seasons to speak of in this country: no chance of being caught in a shower of falling autumn leaves (only caterpillars dropping on your head...

Welcome back, to the first day of Semester Two, to the start of a brand new year. Looking back, 2011 has been nothing short of tremendous. For starters, you have survived yet another semester in Law School. To the Year Ones: congratulations on making through the first. Everything is probably...

Hi everyone! It is time to bring down Medicine! Law-Med 2012 will be held from 9-17 Feb 2012 this year (the exact dates of the sports will be confirmed later). To assuage any confusion, the official name of this event is Med-Law (because Medicine is hosting it this year) BUT...

Dear fellow NUS Law students, Mid-way through the first semester of Academic Year 2011/12, a group of students got together to do the impossible. Their mission, should they choose to accept, was to create an online media platform to foster a greater sense of law school culture. They needed...

Despite the brief downpour in the afternoon, the match between SMU Law and NUS school of public policy began in cool weather, albeit in muddy conditions.  NUSSPP started off the match with a quick goal in the early minutes. SMU swiftly counterattacked, narrowly missing the goal and hitting the post...

It’s certainly no easy feat getting onto the Dean’s List here in NUS Law School – everyone knows that. Every academic year, the top 10% of each cohort form the illustrious 20 or so individuals who manage to reach that pinnacle of excellence. Have you always wondered what truly...

TOMORROW’S fixture will be between the Year 2s and students from NYU, not the Year 2s and Year 3s. Sadly, the Year 3’s have take home exams and the fixture will be pushed back to next sem. So Year 2 and NYU students do come down to support...

A community message brought to you by the Foreign Master Lawyers’ Association Have you ever felt alone in your struggles in law school, especially during those moments when the closing symphony plays at 9.45pm in the library, and you begin to wonder (again) why you ever chose to study...

The Year 1 players and supporters engaged by the football   The first game of the justice league brought with it much excitement, especially for the Year 1s as it was our first time playing together as a team. Although there was a hint of rain in the morning, at kick...

Early on a bright Sunday morning, a bunch of bumblebee-coloured shirts made their way down to SMU, with their wearers in tow. Our team of pros and social players arrived early ready to do our best and hopefully win. Unfortunately, the day started off on a negative note as our...
