DEAN’S DIARY

History often makes more sense in retrospect than it does when living through it. At certain moments, a passing of the torch offers a chance to recognise individuals whose impact was sometimes more transformative than even they realised.

This edition of LawLink celebrates two such individuals who played key roles in the life of NUS Law. Prof S Jayakumar ’63 steps down after nearly eight years as Chair of our Advisory Council — a period that saw an overhaul in the way we teach and research, as well as transformations in the job market that our graduates now enter. A former Ambassador to the United Nations, Minister, and Deputy Prime Minister, his role as Chair might not be the first item in his biography (though it does rate a mention on his Wikipedia page, as does his role as Dean), but it has been enormously meaningful to us.In a separate transition, Emeritus Professor M Sornarajah gave a farewell lecture that demonstrated the impact he has had on generations of students, but also on how international investment law is thought about and practised. His most recent book, The Misery of International Law, was also celebrated at the European Society of International Law. Don’t let the title mislead you: it’s an invigorating and inspiring work, testimony to Sorna’s passion and intellect.

But we wouldn’t be doing our job at NUS Law if we only looked backward. These pages also celebrate new beginnings in the form of Andrew Phang ’82 taking up the chair of our Advisory Council and Daniel Seng ’92 being appointed inaugural Director of our new Centre for Technology, Robotics, AI & the Law

(TRAIL). Also in the technology space, we share some of the activities that are new on campus, like coding for lawyers.Plus we recognise the many achievements of our students in their curricular and extracurricular activities. This includes mooting (of course) and other competitions, but also projects in which the students compete only against themselves — like the Singapore Law Review and the Law IV musical. We also include information about some of the reunions we’ve held over the year. These included one in which we discovered that 18 out of about 200 classmates found their spouses within the class, and another at which two men who hadn’t seen each other in fifty years caught up for the first time since graduation.

At many of these reunions, I take the opportunity to ask our alumni about their memories of law school. One thing that strikes me is that something as basic as the reason why one studied law in the first place may change over time. The decisions we make as teenagers are often cast in a different light as the years pass. Or new reasons emerge. The constant, I hope, is that whatever brought our students — and our alumni — to NUS Law, and whatever direction they took after graduation, the time they spent with us was productive, transformative even.

I hope these pages trigger some memories of your own about law school, and if there are ways in which we can help you create new memories, or shape the experiences of generations of law students to come, the information at the back of the publication may be helpful.

FROM ACADEMIA TO POLITICS AND BACK

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

PROFESSOR S JAYAKUMAR ’63

PROFESSOR SIMON CHESTERMAN

Throughout his career, Professor S Jayakumar ’63 has played many prominent roles, as diplomat and later Deputy Prime Minister, Senior Minister for Law, Foreign Affairs, Minister for Home Affairs and Labour. Yet, when asked if there was any time that he cherished, it was his years teaching in the law school that he remembers with greatest satisfaction.

Professor Jayakumar’s connection with the law school began in 1959 when he enrolled as part of the third batch of students. As he said in his book, “Be at the Table or be on the Menu: A Singapore Memoir”, his university days were enriching and eventful, with various leadership roles including President of the university’s Law Society, Vice President of the Students’ Union, Chairman of the Student Council, and editor of the student newspaper, The Singapore Undergrad.

He did well academically, topping the final year exams. Encouraged by his dean and one of his professors, he joined the teaching staff. After admission to the Bar, he joined the Faculty in 1964, initially as a Graduate Fellow.

In 1970, the prospect of succeeding Professor Tommy Koh as Singapore’s Permanent Representative to the UN in New York placed his career at a crossroads. He accepted the challenge and in 1971, he assume the UN post. Upon completing that UN posting, he returned to NUS Law and served as Dean from 1974 to 1980.

Professor Jayakumar envisaged that he would have a lifelong career as an academic. However, the invitation to enter politics came up twice. When invited by Dr Toh Chin Chye, then Vice-Chancellor of the University and chairman of the People’s Action Party (PAP), in 1974 to enter politics, he demurred. In 1979, the question was put to him again with greater urgency.Mr S. Dhanabalan approached him with a message from Mr Goh Chok Tong to join a new team to replace the old guard

Having chaired the NUS Law Advisory Council for the past 7 years, what do you see as

the key role of the Council and the difference it can make to the Faculty?My view was that our job is not to micromanage. Having been Dean before, I know how challenging it is to head a law school. Everyone has strong views and it is not easy to achieve consensus on key issues. However, as an institution which educates professionals, the Faculty must be receptive to feedback from key stakeholders. I saw the Advisory Council’s main role as helping the Dean and his key colleagues to get useful feedback and suggestions.

I think the Council is well placed to do this. It has practitioners from both large and small firms as well as members from AGC and foreign law firms.

Do you have any parting words for the new Chair, the Council and the Deanery?

The Dean and his team have done an excellent job in building up the reputation of the Faculty. However, huge changes are in store for the legal landscape – in Singapore and elsewhere. This is largely due to technology and AI, the role of paralegals and the outsourcing of traditional legal work. How law is taught and practised will see a major revolution.

It is difficult to encapsulate in a few words what he taught me. I guess it boils down to being single-minded and unwavering in pursuit of Singapore’s national interest and how not to lose sight of the big picture, while, at the same time dealing with details of any issue.

With the ongoing emphasis on lifelong learning, is there anything you would like to

take the time to learn more about at this stage of your life? How do you spend your time now?Law and diplomacy have always fascinated me. There is never a dull moment, and new frontiers are always opening up. At the age of 80, it will be a satisfying achievement for me to just keep abreast of these exciting changes.

How do I spend my time? My role as Senior Legal Advisor to the Foreign Minister keeps me as busy as ever. When not working, retirement from politics has given me more time to spend on some hobbies like painting, golf, brisk walking as well as more opportunities to enjoy the company of six grandchildren.

as tasked by Mr Lee Kuan Yew. This time he found it hard to say no, persuaded by the argument for a solid successor team to secure the future of Singapore.

His political career spanned 30 years and various ministerial portfolios, the longest being in the Ministry of Law (26 years if we count the periods as Minister of State and Second Minister). He recalled working on unique legislation to be among his most satisfying assignments in the Ministry.

He retired from politics in 2011 and returned to academia after a 30-year hiatus to resume his association with NUS and NUS Law. He undertook three roles on a pro bono basis. He chaired both the Faculty’s Advisory Council and the Centre for International Law’s (CIL) International Advisory Board. Together with Professor Tommy Koh, he also co-chaired the CIL Fireside Chats series to discuss contemporary issues of international law.

As Professor Jayakumar recently passed the baton as Chairman of NUS Law’s Advisory Council to Justice Andrew Phang ‘82, LawLink chatted with him to find out his thoughts on the role of the Council, his life’s work and his greatest influences.

The Faculty must ensure that future law students are ready for these new changes.

That will be the next big challenge for the Faculty of Law leadership. Fortunately, the Council is in good hands with Justice Andrew Phang’s leadership. It can be a valuable sounding board as the Faculty deals with these challenges.

As a former student as well as the Dean of NUS Law from 1974 – 1980, what

are some of your fondest memories of those early years of NUS Law?The Faculty then was very different from today’s Law School. One notable difference between “then and now” is that in the early years, the law school had a sizable number of students from Malaysia. Close friendships were forged. Most of the Malaysian students went back and became prominent lawyers, legal officers, diplomats and judges. The bonds we had established in student days helped us maintain good links with the legal fraternity across the Causeway. Sadly, we do not have those links now. We must find other ways to have close ties with them.

Secondly, the size of the student body was much smaller. This helped bring about a sense of “cosiness” and a collegiate spirit.

Thirdly, there were many part-time students who did the LLB course over 6 years. They included teachers, executives or civil servants who never had the chance to study law before. As a young full-time student, I thought that interaction with this older group was very good. I recall one of them was Mr G D Balakrishnan, the father of current Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan. Another individual was K R Chandra who later became Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Law. I fondly recall having late night sessions with them to prepare for exams.

Looking back on your life and career, what are you proudest of?

At each stage of my life, I have had my satisfying moments – as a student, as law teacher and Dean, as diplomat and as a Cabinet Minister. It is difficult to pin-point the “proudest” but the most satisfying experience was interacting with the students. I very much missed that when I left teaching for politics.

Some of my former students went on to have illustrious careers, like K Shanmugam ‘84

(Minister for Law), Lucien Wong ‘78 (Attorney-General), Davinder Singh SC ‘82.

Lucien Wong at a recent birthday party on the occasion of my 80th birthday, quipped that as a law teacher I came across as “stern”. People made similar comments when I later became an office holder.

Who has been the biggest influence on your life and what lessons did that person teach you?

In my younger days, my parents influenced me profoundly with their sheer hard work raising a family of seven kids. As I have written elsewhere, my father came from India, expecting to work here only for a few years. However, things changed when he married my mother, a Singapore-born woman. As my mother always reminded me – if not for her I would have been born in India.

In my adult life, without a doubt, the person who had the biggest influence on me was Mr Lee Kuan Yew with whom I worked at close quarters for some three decades.

CHARTING THE NEXT CHAPTERJUSTICE ANDREW PHANG ’82

A new chapter opened for the NUS Law Advisory Council in 2019. The Honourable Justice Andrew Phang Boon Leong ’82 was appointed the new Chair, and took over the reins from P ro fes so r J ayakumar ‘65 , who served as the Chair of the Council s ince its establ ishment in 2012.

Justice Phang spent over 20 years as an academic before being appointed to the bench in 2005. At the age of 48, he was elevated to the Court of Appeal on 28 February 2006, making him the youngest person ever to be appointed a Judge of Appeal in Singapore.

In extending his gratitude to Professor Jayakumar, Justice Phang expressed his desire to steer the Advisory Council by building on the foundations laid by his predecessor. He acknowledged the significance of the role played by the Council led by Professor Jayakumar in aiding the decanal team and in acting as a liaison between NUS Law and the legal profession in Singapore and internationally.

“The laying of foundations is the most vital task. Yet, it is the hardest, and by definition, the least visible. What we can do henceforth is to build in rather small, but I hope, still significant steps,” he said.

Challenges in a New Era of Legal PracticeIn his widely-quoted lecture delivered at the Indiana University’s Robert H. McKinney School of Law on 30 October 2018, Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon ’86 made an urgent case for reform of legal education. He cited how three pivotal trends - globalisation, technology and commercialisation - have created a “perfect storm” that will irrevocably change the way law is practised.

“It is clear that technology, as well as internationalisation and globalisation, will define the legal practice of the future. This has, in fact, been emphasised by Chief Justice Menon in numerous speeches as well as papers. The Council

has already begun discussing how the curriculum might be reformulated in order to better prepare NUS law graduates for practice,” said Justice Phang.

In the face of technological challenges, e spec i a l l y w i th the advent o f internationalisation and globalisation, he believes that students and graduates need to become more outward-looking. Rather than being inhibited by the onset of trends, they should get familiar with the new opportunities offered by technology as well as internationalisation and globalisation, and harness those advantages.

“In addition to ensuring that all students obtain an adequate grounding in law and technology, the Faculty should also ensure that they obtain at least a rudimentary knowledge of other systems of law. The curriculum already caters for comparative legal studies and we

will see if more can be done,” he said.He added that legal ethics is another vital area that deserves attention. Teaching legal ethics remains challenging because it involves values, rather than technical rules.

“I do feel that we need to think of more effective ways of driving home the need for ethics as it remains one of the distinguishing hallmarks of what defines our legal profession,” he said.

Learning to Balance Work and LifeJustice Phang identified work-life balance as a challenge that has very real and practical implications. He observed that the issue has become endemic in Singapore and suggested that one way of addressing the problem could be to work more efficiently and imaginatively where possible.

“It is immensely important to harness creativity,” he said. “In the law, we are

constrained only to the extent to which we limit our own minds and imaginations.”

One must also set fair expectations and be prepared to accept the imperfection and unfairness that sometimes come in the way of life, he explained. The qualities of diligence, integrity and resilience, as well as the support of loved ones, would often help weather the rough storms in life. Conversely, imperfection should not deter anyone from pursuing ideals.

“From my personal experience, I found that one can enhance the meaning of work and, indeed, one’s life from having a realistic idealism. This may sound like a contradiction but it isn’t. Put simply, you have to work out what you really want to achieve in life, for your personal and work life, whilst accepting that life is imperfect,” he said.

“For me, it means trying to help others. Not forgetting that, often, the most vital help is in the form of the little kindnesses we show to those we encounter daily at the workplace.”

Postgraduate PerspectivesJustice Phang graduated with First Class Honours in 1982, before going on to obtain his Master of Laws (LLM) and Doctor of Juridical Science (SJD) from Harvard University in 1984 and 1988

respectively. He shared his views on the relevance of pursuing postgraduate studies.

“I needed to pursue postgraduate studies because I pursued a career in legal academia. However, I did not need a doctoral degree. I embarked on my doctoral studies based on a personal ideal and mission. At that time, I felt that the Singapore legal system had not been examined from a more holistic, and especially extralegal, perspective,” he said.

“Little did I know then, how difficult it was to pursue a doctorate. I would not recommend it unless one is in legal academia and has a project that one is passionate about,” he conceded.

The legal landscape has certainly evolved over the decades. While he still believed that a Masters degree is not essential for legal practice, he urged graduates to consider pursuing a Masters should the opportunity arise. This is because a Masters degree does widen one’s legal knowledge, especially in specialised areas of interests, and perhaps more importantly, widens one’s legal horizons and view of the world.

“There is also a lot more cutting-edge law that can be learnt. However, one should not pursue an LLM for its own sake,” he added.

On A Personal NoteIf there is one thing that Justice Phang misses, it is interacting with students. He

remembers fondly the candid discourses about the law, and also the discussions on life and how life experiences made one a better lawyer and a better person.

On the issue of life lessons, he considered his parents as his greatest influence. “My parents taught me the vital importance of integrity, humility and hard work, as well as the need to be kind to others regardless of their station in life. They were not only loving people but also brilliant in their own right. But you would not have been able to tell because they were such humble people who always took the trouble to look out for others, especially those who were less gifted or fortunate,” he said.

On a personal note, if he is not too busy in court, Justice Phang enjoys reading and reflecting about knowledge in general and how its various strands are all interconnected – for example, the ways in which one could reconcile the individual and community.

“I like reading and learning, and have books I would like to read about almost every subject under the sun. I am afraid that I will not be able to read all of them during my lifetime!” he laughed.

“If I have the time, I would like to reflect and write about the common threads that underlie all disciplines. However, it is so very busy in the courts that I can only do this after I retire.”

Justice Phang spent 20 years as an academic before being called to the bench in 2005

Stephanie Law ’14 has had positive experiences on the campuses of the 4 universities she’s studied in – University of Warwick, Johns Hopkins University, National University of Singapore, and New York University – and now, she’s created one of her own. SG Code Campus is the brainchild of Stephanie and her two co-founders. The school has taught coding to over 3,000 students since it started in 2016.

Stephanie has always enjoyed teaching and working with kids. Her first work internship at age 15 was as a teaching assistant in a childcare centre and through the years, teaching has been her source of inspiration. Opening and running a coding school was a culmination of that passion and interest in science and technology.

Code SwitchThe idea for a coding school came even as Stephanie was embarking on her law

ON LANGUAGE, LAW AND CODING STEPHANIE LAW ’14

career at one of the top firms in Singapore. Sometime in 2014, she started discussing what a meaningful education should look like with her co-founders, and where Computer Science would fit in. “It wasn’t long before the idea of SG Code Campus took root. Computer Science is language, science, human behaviour, computer behaviour, critical thinking and problem-solving all rolled into one. We wanted to define and deliver a meaningful tech education that kids deserve because they need it to be active participants in an increasingly digital world,” Stephanie said.

Love of LanguageStephanie shares that the common thread in her journey has been her fascination with language and words. After obtaining her MA in International Relations, she worked in the civil service as a political analyst, where she used words to convey ideas, structure facts, distil and illustrate

pivotal points in complex situations. The aim was to be clear, objective and concise, and the transition to law was, in that vein, natural. She chose to read law because it struck her as “a career in the craft of using words to build protective constructs and incentivise behaviour.” She was “drawn to the craftsmanship in wordsmithing as well as the higher purpose of doing the right thing.”

Stephanie graduated from NUS Law in 2014 with an LLB. She considered her 3 years of study in the Graduate Law Bachelors (GLB) programme as professional development rather than an academic pursuit because it was the means to a mid-career switch to the law profession.

Career LessonsHaving worked at 3 different jobs – civil servant, lawyer and entrepreneur – Stephanie has benefitted from each in different ways. As a political analyst, her work honed and engendered intellectual integrity and razor-sharp written communication skills. As a mergers and acquisitions lawyer, she was driven to find common ground, allocate risk and bring a transaction across the finish line. “It requires versatility in negotiation styles and problem-solving approaches,” she explained, “because clients need a practical solution to their legal and commercial concerns. Legal practice has also taught me client management, time management, organisation, negotiation and risk allocation skills, all of which gave me a leg-up when learning how to lead a high-performing, motivated team trying to solve complex problems.” As an entrepreneur, one must “capture the imagination and create meaningful experiences – for the team, the customers, shareholders and investors. To build a good company, I firmly believe that you need to take care of the people, the product and the profits – in that order.”

Coding and the LawIn September 2019, Stephanie conducted a coding course for NUS law students

based on her belief that “coding, and tech education more generally, promotes digital literacy. It introduces us to a different way of thinking, new ways of communication and expression of ideas. Just as we have discovered that language literacy is critical to decision-making processes and civic institutions, digital literacy is necessary to ensure that we are

positive participants in our increasingly digital economies and societies.”

She emphasises that “whether it’s a tech client, a client’s tech product or a legal tech solution, having digital literacy will aid law students and practitioners’ ability to solve problems better, using a wider variety of problem-solving

He was born in Manipay in Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka). That was in 1942, and in the 77 years since, he has travelled all over the world, collecting a string of achievements, accolades and appointments. Muthucumuraswamy Sornarajah has had an illustrious career in the study of law, which continues even now in his role as Emeritus Professor in the Faculty of Law, NUS.

Professor Sornarajah showed promise early, attending the Royal College of Colombo, the “Eton of Ceylon”. Even as he and his family became refugees due to anti-Tamil riots, he was able to win entry into the University of Ceylon, where he obtained a rare First Class Honours. A Master of Laws from Yale University was his next qualification, and he also graduated with an LLM and PhD from the University of London. In 1995, he was awarded an LLD from London University based on his collected works in international law.

Professor Sornarajah began his career as an assistant lecturer at the University of Ceylon in 1966. In 1974, he became a lecturer at the University of Tasmania’s Department of Law, and later was its head from 1981 to 1984. He joined the National University of Singapore’s Law Faculty in 1986, and was promoted to full professor in 1995, having authored the book, International Law on Foreign Investment in 1994.

Into its fourth edition, the book is one of the leading texts on foreign investment.

Having published a dozen book, more than thirty chapters, over seventy articles, and a great many conference papers, Professor Sornarajah’s academic reputation is widely known. He has been Visiting Professor at the Centre for Human Rights at the London School of Economics, and the American University in Washington, among other appointments.

He has also done distinguished work as arbitrator and counsel. Professor Sornarajah was counsel for the Claimant in Yaung

Chi Oo Ltd v The Republic of Myanmar, a case in which there was a naked seizure of an investment by the Burmese Army. He sits on the Board of Advisors of the UN Conference on Trade and Development P ro jec t on D i spute Set t lement .

Professor Sornarajah was appointed the first CJ Koh Professor in 2005. In June 2019, he delivered the CJ Koh Professorial Lecture entitled “The Past and Present of the International Law on Foreign Investment”. He talked about the outcomes of the efforts to extinguish or reform the international law on foreign investment, as the subject is in disarray due to excesses in the application of the law and attempts to manipulate its formulation.

Professor Sornarajah formally retired at the end of June 2019, but his appointment as Emeritus Professor ensures that NUS Law continues to benefit from his teaching and research.

LAW SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS

AI & THE LAWASSOCIATE PROFESSOR DANIEL SENG ‘92

The Centre for Technology, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and the Law (TRAIL) was officially launched on 5 December 2019 to explore the relationship between technology and the various areas of legal research. TRAIL’s Director Associate Professor Daniel Seng ’92 shares his view on how AI is transforming the legal profession and his vision for the new Centre.

The growing interest in applying artificial intelligence (AI) in law is said to be transforming the legal profession, by applying AI-powered solutions in fields such as knowledge management and document assembly. How do you see the tension between tech law startups and law firms being resolved in the near future?I think having the tech law startups is a good thing. Back in 2015, I for one strongly encouraged many of the students of my inaugural AI, Information Science and the Law module to take what they have learned to the legal market. Hence Lex Quanta was founded. Tech law startups are able to view legal problems from a technology perspective, and by applying not just information technology but also robust techniques in statistical analysis and machine learning, help to make the practice of law more efficient and cost-effective. Many law firms, especially the large international law firms, have dedicated technology departments seeking to deploy the same technologies to their legal practices. So tech law startups fill the gap by empowering the small and medium size firms with the same types of technologies to enable them to stay competitive. I don’t see tech law startups as replacing law firms. Instead, I see them helping law firms automate aspects of their legal practice so that lawyers can do what they do best: practise the law.

Of course, in the process, junior and entry-level positions will be lost. This is inevitable. But this also means that as machines take over the grunt work such as document assembly, due diligence and legal discovery that junior lawyers had to do as part of their training, those junior lawyers are now freed up and well placed to focus

CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

on the more difficult, nuanced aspects of legal practice, and in fact even manage and supervise the autonomous systems that are “working for them”. For instance, lawyers when reviewing automatically-assembled documents may want to focus on key clauses or terms that will reflect the special needs of the client. When reviewing the results of an automated due-diligence review, lawyers may want to think about scenarios or situations which are not captured by the automated system. In fact, to do this well, lawyers need to think like engineers – they cannot always assume that the technology is always working, and working well. In NUS Law, we are starting to train a new batch of lawyers who also think like engineers. They are problem solvers and problem debuggers, and I believe that this is what the next generation of technology lawyers will be, and how law will be practised in the near future.

So in sum, I don’t see any tension: I see a transition and a real opportunity for junior lawyers to make a difference in the practice of the law, and an opportunity for senior lawyers to return lawyering to its roots, which is ultimately about serving the community and the clients.  How has the teaching of technology law, and the responses of students to technology law, changed over the years?I first started being involved in teaching

technology law in 1993, which is a real eternity in computing time! I inherited the course from Professor Gerald Dworkin and Associate Professor Chin Tet Yung, to whom I will forever owe a debt of gratitude for their foresight. It started off as “Computer Law”, became “Internet Law”, and then was hived off into “Information Technology Law 1”, where I addressed the intellectual property issues in information technology, and “Information Technology Law 2” where I tried to address all the other non-IP issues in information technology. Initially, enrolment was low: very few students saw the need to study the subject. My early batch of students will recall that I started the lectures defensively by talking about Justice Easterbrook’s seminal paper entitled “Cyberspace and the Law of the Horse”! But interest and intake have definitely risen over the years.

Since then, in keeping with changes in technology, the various components within these two modules have been further hived off into “Privacy and Data Protection”, “Cybersecurity, Privacy and Data Compliance” and “AI, Information Science and the Law”. Interest in all these subjects has definitely risen, especially with the advent of the Internet and its commercialization. Paradoxically, when

The EW Barker Centre for Law & Business (EWBCLB) at NUS Law hosted a Distinguished Lecturewith Emeritus Professor Francis Reynolds QC, from University of Oxford, who delivered a public lecture titled, “Routes to Vicarious Liability” on 3 September 2019. The lecture was chaired by CJ Koh Professor Hans Tjio, Director of EWBCLB. Vicarious liability is an extremely important area of tort law that has been seeing dramatic development across common law jurisdictions. The lecture examined the routes to liability for fraudulent and negligent statements by others, and the extent to which such liability should be regarded as vicarious or explained in some other way.

having an Internet connection was a luxury, students were more eager to find out about the technology and how it works. With the popularization of information technology and the widespread use of portable smart computing devices like smartphones, a majority of students have shifted their attention away from the mechanics, the “how” of technology, to its application, the “why” of technology. To their credit, most students who take the tech law modules quickly understand the importance of learning the “how” of technology. I am deeply heartened to learn that they want to ensure that they have the skills and options to survive in what they fear may be a radically transformed legal profession by the time they settle into practice. The other positive side effect of students being receptive towards information technology law is that we are beginning to see new career

options being opened up for graduating students such as legaltech entrepreneurs and empirical legal researchers. And so, it is vitally important for an institution like NUS Law to stay abreast of developments in technology as well as the needs of the legal community, so that we can help our graduates better position themselves for the future, be it in practice or in service.

Congratulations! You have been appointed the Director of the NUS Centre for Technology, Robotics, AI and the Law (TRAIL). Please share your vision for the Centre and what TRAIL hopes to achieve in the near future.I see TRAIL as the hub for collaboration between academics of different disciplines, ranging from computer science to policy studies, from economics to medicine. For better or worse, technology has legal implications in fields beyond the traditional

expertise of legal academics, and we have to collaborate with our colleagues from different faculties to complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses. TRAIL has invited two colleagues from the NUS School of Computing to be its first Academic Fellows, and we are very honoured that they have accepted our invitation. We hope to leverage on this collaboration to make useful contributions to conversations about legal regulation of technology. In addition, we also hope to make a positive contribution by way of our projects and research to the various stakeholders in the legal profession and other statutory bodies, such as the Ministry of Law, the courts and the Personal Data Protection Commission. These are small goals given our limited resources but I sincerely hope that in our quest to shape technology law for the better, we are able to collectively leave behind a legacy of knowledge and acumen for posterity.

LAWLINK 2019

Congratulations to the graduates of NUS Law’s Class of 2019! This year, over 340 students from the LLB, LLM and PhD programmes graduated from the Faculty. Held at the University Cultural Centre on 11 July 2019, this year’s Commencement ceremony featured guest speaker, Mr Yeong Zee Kin ‘97 (Assistant Chief Executive (Data Innovation and Protection Group), Deputy Commissioner (Personal Data Protection Commission), Infocomm Media Development Authority). Addressing graduates from NUS Law and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, Mr Yeong talked about the importance of lawmaking and policymaking in supporting innovation and technology in a fast-changing environment.

The Class of 2019 valedictorian is Joshua Foo ‘19, who represented NUS Law in several mooting competitions including the Philip C Jessup Moot Competition. He was also a member of the team that clinched the first ever victory at the Allen & Overy Private Law Moot Competition in 2017. In his valedictory speech, Joshua praised the graduating cohort’s achievements which include establishing the Faculty’s first Alternative Dispute Resolution club, raising $12,000 for charity from the annual student musical production Law IV and expanding the pro bono efforts of the Faculty.

“What is the doctrinal basis of a state being considered to be a sovereign state for [the] purposes of public international law?” Dr Michael Hwang SC

In today’s world, problems are morphing to become supra-national. How then will countries apply broad general principles in dealing with similar issues?

The 31st SLR Annual Lecture titled “A Tale of Two Cities: SQ 006 and The Issue of State Immunity For Taiwan” given by Dr Hwang SC provided an intriguing perspective on public international law. The opening address was delivered by Kan Ting Chiu ‘70, LLM ‘88, a retired Justice of the High Court and member of the first Editorial Board of the Singapore Law Review. The atmosphere turned nostalgic as Mr Kan brought us back in time and through the vivid history of the Singapore Law Review before ending off with well-wishes for the future success of the Review. After the sentimental sharing by Mr Kan, the sponsors for the Lecture, Clifford Chance, warmly introduced Dr Hwang SC.

Dr Hwang SC’s lecture on public international law centered around the question of whether Taiwan is a State within the meaning of Singapore’s State Immunity Act 1985 and Canada’s State Immunity Act 1982, both of which were derived from the UK’s State Immunity Act 1978.

The litigation proceedings in these two jurisdictions saw Taiwan’s Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) as one of the defendants. The lawsuits were situated in the context of a tragic aircraft accident in Taipei on 31 October 2000, where flight SQ006 crashed on take-off at Chiang Kai-shek International Airport (now Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport). CAA pleaded sovereign immunity under Canada’s and Singapore’s respective State Immunity Acts.

The similarly-worded Acts led to two vastly different conclusions on Taiwan’s statehood, or lack thereof, in the Singapore

courts (High Court and Court of Appeal) and the Canadian Quebec Superior Court. The Singapore courts decided that Taiwan was not a State (Woo Anthony v Singapore Airlines Ltd and other actions (Civil Aeronautics Administration, third party) [2003] 3 SLR(R) 688 (SGHC); Civil Aeronautics Administration v Singapore Airlines Ltd [2004] 1 SLR(R) 570), while the Canadian Quebec Superior Court held a differing opinion in Parent v Singapore Airlines & Civil Aeronautics Administration (2003) 133 ILR 264.

Amongst other things, Dr Hwang SC explored the role of the courts and the executive in recognising statehood. In respect of the situation where there is no clear certificate issued by the executive on whether a country is a State, Dr Hwang SC articulated the judicial struggle in navigating the tension between deferring to the executive’s evidentiary expertise to recognise States and, on the other hand, applying the rules of customary international law in the national sphere.

A Tale of Two Cities (Public International Law edition) was a tale of two jurisdictions navigating the same waters on different ships and arriving at different destinations.

THE APPEAL OF THE MOOTNUS Law has an excellent record in moot court competitions, thanks in part to former students such as Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon ‘86 and Minister for Law, K Shanmugam SC ‘84.

NUS International Moot ProgrammeThe NUS International Moot Programme has two components. First, the Young Mooters Programme (YMP) under the aegis of our Mooting & Debating Club supports students (regardless of seniority) to participate in a wide range of international moots on a not-for-credit basis, partially funded by the generous donation of the HL Wee Mooting Fund. Second, students also have the option (at upper level) to participate in major moots for academic credit; and these official moots are fully supported by NUS Law and our direct donors.

HL Wee Mooting FundIn memory of the late Mr HL Wee, his family pledged an endowed gift of S$500,000 to NUS Law in 2013 to establish the HL Wee Scholarship Fund and the HL Wee Mooting Fund. The latter fund allowed NUS to greatly expand the YMP so that more students could benefit from mooting. With

STUDENT FEATURES

Most memorable moment Joel: The 2019 Jessup Moot, where my team ranked 5th in the world (out of 700 teams), while I placed as Best Oralist in the United Kingdom, and 5th globally.Eening: The moment we won the National Round was also the moment we all started letting ourselves believe that we might actually win the entire competition.Melody: The moment my team won the 2019 Jessup National Rounds was a big one – I remember the tears both my team and (some of) my coaches shed that day.

Growing with the mootJoel: Moots have developed my ability to conduct legal research. Moot problems often involve novel and challenging areas of law which require an in-depth understanding of cutting-edge topics. Secondly, moots have taught me how to develop arguments (both written and oral) in a systematic and persuasive manner. Lastly, moots have taught me how to work collaboratively with others. Eening: I’ve learnt to craft academically rigorous arguments, and to connect with people on a personal level. I have never been particularly good at working in a team, but being in a moot team taught me to celebrate others’ victories like my own, and to learn to make sacrifices that were necessary for the team.Melody: Mooting has greatly enhanced my self-awareness. It has revealed to me the way I think, the way I work within a team, the way I deal with stress, and given me opportunities to practise resilience. Professionally, it has highlighted to me my passion for advocacy, argumentative thinking and writing.

Best mooting adviceJoel: Victor Leong ’16 stressed the importance of answering judges’ questions directly and understanding “the question behind the question”.Melody: Joshua Hiew ’17 used to tell me that mooting was a “dance”. That helped me to see mooting as a performance – something that can be rehearsed to death, but sti l l turn out differently every round.Eening: A week before the National Round, Joshua Hiew ’17 told me that “past a certain point, it’s no longer about hard work, it’s about living in that moment.” Hearing this made me reflect that perhaps it was other things that I needed to change besides the amount of work I was putting in.

Most valuable takeawayJoel: Trust your teammates, coaches, and most importantly, yourself. The second is to use the opportunity to meet people from around the world, who undoubtedly will become top lawyers in their fields one day. Lastly, learn and improve from each round of the moot. What is important is to grow from the experience and to be humble in victory and gracious in defeat.Melody : Moot ing in NUS i s a lways a communi ty endeavour ; we have so many incredibly dedicated and talented coaches and alumni, who share in our pa in and our joy in the most se lf less of ways .

support from the HL Wee Mooting Fund, our young mooters can focus on preparing for the international competitions and honing their advocacy skills. To-date, more than 160 students have benef i t ted f rom the fund.

A recipient of the fund, NUS Law graduate Melody Lau ’19, together with her team mates Low Eening ’19, Ayana Ki ’19, Lucas Lim ’20 and Darren Sim ’20, won the 2019 Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot National Rounds as part of the NUS team and reached the semi-finals of the International Rounds. Melody and Eening also tied for Best Oralist in the National Rounds. As Melody pointed out: “I took part in the 2017 Asia Cup Moot Cup Competition held in Tokyo, as well as the Nuremberg Moot Court Competition, and could not have done so as easily without the generous funding provided. I wish to say a huge thank you to the donors.”

The same year, while on exchange at King’s College London, Joel Sherard Chow ’20 and his team from the Dickson Poon School of Law emerged Champions of the UK National Rounds of the Jessup Compet i t ion. Joel ,

who was also named Best Oralist, received his foundational mooting opportunit ies from the NUS YMP.

NUS Law spoke to Melody, Eening and Joel on their mooting journey.

“I believe that mooting should be about a learning experience, over and above competition outcomes. At NUS, we try to make the experience open to many students, not just to those who have already distinguished themselves, or who have ‘relevant experience’ or who have ‘obvious talent’. We do look for proven aptitude; but we equally look for attitude and potential. As a result, each year, more than 100 students get to represent NUS in international competitions. And, of course, many more NUS students participate in domestic moots and hone their skills that way too.” Associate Professor Eleanor Wong ’85 (Vice Dean, Student L ife & Global Re lat ions)

NUS Law freshmen raised over $19,000 for their beneficiary, Lion Befrienders at this year’s NUS Students’ Union (NUSSU) Rag & Flag held on 10 August 2019. The freshmen put up an entertaining and colourful performance, earning them a Bronze Award.

The success of Rag & Flag was attributed to our freshmen’s commitment and dedication to the project. Working hard together over two months has helped us establish camaraderie amongst the cohort. Many

RAG & FLAG 2019

of us made friendships that will last for a lifetime. Moreover, I was encouraged that the freshmen had a heart for the community.

On Flag Day, freshmen raise funds for social service organisations and subsequently on Rag Day, they put up dance performances to thank the public for their donations. This year’s Rag & Flag was held at Bishan Park Ficus Green where members of the public were treated to a spectacle of performances from the various NUS faculties.

It was heartening to see our freshmen part ic ipating in al l the activ it ies enthusiastically. Despite facing many challenges and having to stay late into the night to realise this project, we were able to overcome these obstacles because of our indefatigable spirit. Overall, the experience has been a meaningful and fulfilling one which will be etched in our memories for a long time to come. Well done, NUS Law!

Every year, the graduating class of NUS Law puts on a musical production to celebrate and showcase the cohort’s talents beyond the purely academic, as well as give back to the community. This year, the Class of 2019 continues this tradition with “Law IV 2019: Unjust Enrichment”, which was performed from 22 to 24 February.

Over the course of three nights, more than 800 friends, relatives, faculty members and special guests attended the production. The year’s performance raised over $10,000.

The proceeds from the production will be donated to Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics (HOME). HOME is dedicated to supporting and empowering migrant workers

who suffer abuse and exploitation, through offering direct assistance, shelter, legal aid and skills training.

This year’s production followed the journey of its three protagonists through law school, exploring themes of academic pressure, student activism, fear of failure, and the tension between ethics and opportunism. Dinesh is a classic Type A student from a prestigious school who has wanted to be a successful lawyer. But Dinesh’s friend, Jeremy, has quite a different take on law school; he is only here because of social and familial expectations. Dinesh and Jeremy are joined by Claire, who is passionate about environmental activism, and who is from a less well-known school and a less well-to-do family.

CLASS OF 1989: 30TH ANNIVERSARY REUNION

One year ago when we broached the idea of organising a class reunion for our 30th Anniversary, it seemed like an uphill task trying to reach out to our classmates, many of whom we have not kept in touch with. We spent a good few months trying to track everyone down (and we must say that we have not totally found all of them yet!!) but closer to the event, the word about the dinner spread very quickly. It was really heartening to see so many who turned up looking miraculously the same after all these years!For most of us, it was a 10-year gap since we last met but yet, the conversations flowed freely as if we had never lost touch. We hope that we had re-kindled

some old ties and that post the reunion, at least some of us will continue to stay in touch. As we looked around and saw most of us still in good health and also in good spirits (both in the alcoholic and non-alcoholic sense!!), we must say that the Class of ’89 is indeed very blessed. Among the highlights of the evening was the brilliant Trivia quiz, put together by Adrian (our permanent Class president), which managed to stump many of us.

For this reunion, the Committee also thought that it would be meaningful to see how we can give back to our alma mater. Many of us owe our careers to the top-notch education that NUS Law had

provided and indeed, we are very proud to see that NUS has grown to become the world-class institution that it is today. To do our part to help future law students, we decided to repurpose the Class of 1989 Financial Relief Fund (set up 10 years ago at our last reunion) into a Bursary, and invited classmates to contribute to this cause.

A big thank you to all those who attended the get together, especially those who came back from overseas for this event! For those who could not attend but took the effort to send your video clips, well wishes and greetings to the Class – we are really appreciative. Special thanks also to Professor Simon Chesterman

CLASS OF 2009: 10TH ANNIVERSARY REUNION

On Saturday 17 August 2019, almost 70 alumni from the LLB Class of 2009 (with some little ones in tow) gathered at the Kent Ridge Guild House to celebrate their 10th anniversary reunion. Accompanying us at the celebration was Professor Simon Chesterman and members of the alumni relations team. For many of the alumni, the location was especially meaningful as they had spent their first year at the Kent Ridge Campus before transitioning to the current Bukit Timah Campus. Old friendships were quickly rekindled over good food and drinks, and the photographs flashed on the projector screens were a warm reminder of how much everyone had grown through the years.

There was little doubt at the end of the gathering that everyone was looking forward to the next reunion. For those alumni who could not make this event, your fellow classmates want to leave you with this quote – “Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart”. See you at the next reunion!

LLM CLASS OF 2009: 10TH ANNIVERSARY REUNION

“Coming back for the ten-year class reunion was a great opportunity to catch up with old friends, revisit the campus where I spent so much time during my studies and to enjoy some great Singaporean food. It was well worth the long

trip and allowed me to reconnect with my Alma Mater.”

Jacov Wirtz - LLM Class of 2009

Almost a year in advance, the Committee from the LLM Class of 2009 began planning for their 10th-anniversary reunion. Slowly but surely, the reunion started taking shape – it would be a lunch held near the Bukit Timah Campus and on the same day as the Bukit Timah Homecoming in the evening, so that classmates can join in both celebrations.

The plan turned out to be a tremendous success as alumni from more than 10 different nations (including Germany, Switzerland, Brazil, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, Australia, Finland, Russia, France, Pakistan and Singapore) gathered on

Saturday 6 July 2019 for what would be NUS Law’s first-ever official LLM Class reunion!

Festivities began as early as Friday night over drinks, followed by lunch on Saturday at the beautiful Botanico restaurant, surrounded by the verdant greenery of the Singapore Botanic Gardens. The leisurely lunch provided abundant opportunities to catch up with old friends and fill in the gaps of the past 10 years.

After lunch, the class explored their old haunts at the Bukit Timah Campus, scored some NUS Law souvenirs at the

Co-op and even managed to catch up with Professor Simon Chesterman outside the Block B Auditorium! As the sun set, the class gathered on the lawn of the Lower Quad for the evening programme of the Bukit Timah Homecoming. It was indeed a weekend to remember!

Kudos to Juliana, Priyanka, Ferdinand, Linna, and Jacov for pulling off such a wonderful reunion and we especially applaud those who made the effort to travel all the way back to Singapore for this special occasion.

SCHOLARSHIP TO EXPAND MINDSETS ABOUT SUCCESS

What does it mean to be successful in life? Many may equate success with high earnings or stellar professional achievements.

Chandra Mohan K Nair ’76, Partner at law firm Tan Rajah & Cheah, and his wife Susan de Silva ’83, a former lawyer who is now a Life & Executive Coach, think of success in a much broader way.

They believe that people are truly successful when they engage al l dimensions of their humanity, beyond the intellectual and physical, to include the emotional dimension and the human need for purpose and meaning in life.

They see the emotional and purpose aspects of human beings as powerful, largely untapped resources that are capable of igniting creativity, positive disruption and ultimately more well-being in the world. As such, they would like to encourage aspiring lawyers to think about what is important to them in all their dimensions as human beings.

To this end, Susan and Chandra have established a scholarship which recognises, cherishes, and celebrates NUS Law undergraduates’ personal qualities as much as their scholastic achievements.

The Chandra Mohan K Nair Scholarship will be given to deserving candidates who

exemplify exceptional human qualities that Chandra is widely respected and recognised for. These include being honourable; service to the community especially in relation to the legal profession and NUS; acting with personal courage and integrity; and idealism.

The following is an excerpt from an interview with Susan and Chandra, and the full article can be found here: http://nus.edu.sg/nusgiving/news-and-events/giving-news/news-detailed-view/newsview/law-veteran-s-scholarship-seeks-to-expand-mindsets-about-success

“We’ve been getting the feeling that the traditional measure of ‘success’ does not serve us fully as human beings. By seeding this Scholarship, we are grateful and thrilled to be able to contribute in some way towards expanding what society values as success.

In 2016, the Law Society of Singapore conferred on Chandra the CC Tan Award, an accolade presented to lawyers who embody the noble traits of the Law Society’s first president, Mr Tan Chye Cheng. It was this award that inspired us to set up this Scholarship.

We hope to see students who do the right thing by their values, even if it is scary or unpopular; someone who is honest with the small things as much as with the big things, especially when no one is watching.

“I joined Mr CC Tan’s law firm, Tan Rajah & Cheah, in January 1977, the year I was called to the Bar. In his quiet way, Mr Tan taught me to carry out one’s duties diligently with the client’s interests uppermost in my mind, and that it was important to be a part of the larger legal fraternity, including the judiciary, legal service, and law faculty.

When I did legal work for the Singapore Sports Council, Mr Tan told me to treat it as pro bono work because it was a government body promoting sports and sportsmanship in Singapore.

These and many other incidents left an indelible mark on me. I was inspired to do voluntary work for the Law Society, voluntary organisations, and deserving non-governmental and sports organisations. I have done so for almost 43 years and counting.

Another person who deeply influenced me as a person and lawyer was my mother. She came to Singapore from India at 28 years old and was completely deaf. Whatever little money she had, she spent almost all of it on our family.

She never punished or scolded me. But she was a self-appointed ‘psychologist’ of sorts, telling me to improve through reasoned arguments and not to repeat my mistakes. Far ahead of her time, she was a truly democratic and liberal person. She imbued in me a commitment to justice and telling the truth, and to embrace being optimistic and idealistic.”

Chandra Mohan K Nair ‘76

Other qualities we’d like to see in recipients are humility, compassion, optimism, and curiosity.”

Susan de Silva ‘83

Paying it forward

Law alumnus and a donor to the National University of Singapore (NUS), Mr Yap Wai Ming (Law ’86) received financial help when he was studying at the NUS Faculty of Law. Today, he is a partner at Morgan Lewis Stamford, an international law firm focusing largely on commercial business transactions. He recounts how help, which came at the right time, changed his life forever and explains how this shaped his attitude to giving.

Describe the difficulties you facedwhile pursuing an education.I came to Singapore from Kuala Lumpur to study under the Asean Pre-University Scholarship at Hwa Chong Junior College and continued to study at NUS without a scholarship then. My late father was the sole breadwinner and he was a textile salesman. He started his own video rental business at about the time I went to university. His business failed miserably with the mushrooming of many such similar shops. He closed his business down and I pooled all my savings and persuaded my mother to chip in and pay off the bank loan. My mother supplemented the household income by babysitting other kids. My father took up odd jobs by fixing wooden crates and salvaging wooden packing materials. He was working out of a makeshift garage at home earning a few tens of dollars a day. I could not request money from him to fund my education and I had to find other means on my own.

What kind of help did you receivethen?I applied for the Bashir Mallal study loan which was S$5,000 per student. But I still needed to supplement my financial needs by working as a part-time waiter at the Guild House in between lessons and also giving private tuition. Times weretough. I had a law school classmate and a running buddy, Sin Boon Ann (Arts ’82,Law ’86). We ran the marathon togetherand participated in the University triathlon selection. He came to understand my financial background.

One day, he passed me an envelope withS$1,000 claiming that his father, Mr SinJeok Tong, managed to obtain a needystudy fund from the Lions Club. I was verygrateful for whatever assistance that camealong. A few years after graduation, when i visited Boon Ann at his home, his father told me that he had given me his own money. He explained that if he had notdone so, I may have rejected the money. Boon Ann also told me that he was kept in the dark as well. His father was reallya very generous man who gave withoutknowing who I was and that I was just a good friend of his son. I am eternally grateful.

How has studying at NUS changed you?NUS gave me a tertiary education and it has allowed me an opportunity to embark on a fulfilling career. I met my wife at NUS too and we are blessed with a healthy andhappy family. I studied law at NUS and Ijoined the Singapore Trade Development Board after qualifying as a lawyer before I rejoined the profession where I haveremained ever since.

Has this experience influenced your views on philanthropy and those whogive selflessly to help others?It has definitely formed my views about giving to the needy and I would not have been what I am today if not for the help that many people provided for me along theway. The Bashir Mallal loan and Mr Sin JeokTong’s creative giving have certainly shapedmy philosophy. I have contributed to many

different charities and I now serve on five different charitable organisations, largely in the health care sector. What advice would you give to young students who have just received their own scholarship or bursaryand whose education journey lies ahead of them? Work hard and when it is your turn, please contribute back to society in your own way. I find inspiration in the Chinesesaying 滴水之恩, 涌泉相报. We return with a gushing fountain in return for the drop of water that we received.

“When I found out about my father’smagnanimity towards my friend yearslater, it left a deep impression on me. My father, a school teacher, was happy to put the well-being of others before his own.He gave his time and money generouslyto help students complete and succeed in their studies.

“He always believed that education was a great social leveller and that no matterwhat your station was in life, with hardwork, success and a good life will always follow you.”

Mr Yap (right) contributes to the Sin Jeok Tong Bursary – established by his friend Mr Sin Boon Ann (left) to honour his late father, who wasalso Mr Yap’s benefactor.

Mr Sin Boon Ann graduated from the Faculty ofArts and Social Sciences in 1982, and Faculty of Law in 1986. He is a former MP and is currentlythe Deputy Managing Director of Drew & Napier LLC.

Mr Zhixiang Seow (Law ’09) is a recipient of theClass of ’86 Scholarship, which is supported by both Mr Yap and Mr Sin.
