The Academy launched a publishing division, known as Academy Publishing, in mid-2007. Academy Publishing is responsible for the selection and publication of a range of primary legal material (reported judgments) and secondary material (selected legal books, monographs and periodicals) for the profession.

Its threefold aims are to:
(1) Disseminate the laws of Singapore to a wider public in the region and internationally;
(2) Provide affordable legal materials to the legal profession; and
(3) Provide an alternative avenue to the academics in our law schools to publish their writings and thereby to encourage them to produce more works.

Academy Publishing’s primary focus is on local law to serve the local legal community:

  • The Singapore Law Reports, the official law reports series in Singapore, are published under the aegis of Academy Publishing. The Council of Law Reporting oversees the function of law reporting in Singapore.

  • A Commissioning Panel identifies legal topics that are of practical importance to the legal profession and which are to be published as law books and monographs by Academy Publishing.

  • The Publications Committee is responsible for the content of the Academy’s academic journals and other similar works, such as the bi-annual Singapore Academy of Law Journal, specialist issues of the Singapore Academy of Law Journal on selected legal topics, and the Annual Review of Singapore Cases. In recent years, the work of the Publications Committee has evolved from one of developing local jurisprudence and legal writing per se to one of rendering this jurisprudence and legal writing attractive and accessible to an international readership.
