The Committee on Legal Education and Studies seeks to promote continuing legal education and provide opportunities for interaction amongst the legal community through seminars, conferences and workshops. Our conferences and seminars, together with our publications, are pushed out with a view to enhancing the intellectual capital of the profession. As such, we have developed – and constantly refine – an innovative suite of programmes that has at once both relevance to the profession and the intellectual rigour of the academic. Topics of current interest are covered year-round through seminars, lectures and workshops given by practitioners who work with these issues in the trenches, and academics who have reputations as experts in the relevant subject areas. A five-year conference series on the development of Singapore law has been tabled. The Visiting Fellows Programme epitomises the work of continuing legal education. Under this programme, top academics, many with significant practice experience, are invited to the Academy as Fellows, and in that capacity deliver lectures showcasing their cutting-edge research and expertise. The yearly highlight is the Academy’s Annual Lecture series, inaugurated in 1994 by the then-Lord Chief Justice of England, the late Lord Taylor of Gosforth. It is the highlight of Academy’s annual events calendar. Every year, distinguished legal personages from various jurisdictions are invited to deliver a lecture attended by distinguished members of the Bench and the legal fraternity, bringing their deep experience and insights to bear on contemporary legal issues faced by their countries or a particular legal system as a whole. Past speakers include the Chief Justices of England, Australia, Canada and China, and a US Supreme Court Associate Justice. In the 2008 Annual Lecture, the Chief Justice of India spoke on the growth and strategies of public interest litigation in India. Copies of the Lectures can be found in our Press Room.       Judge of Appeal Justice Andrew PHANG Boon Leong Chair Justice TAN Lee Meng Vice-Chair Judge of Appeal Justice V K RAJAH Solicitor-General Mrs KOH Juat Jong Mr CHAN Leng Sun Mr David CHONG Gek Sian, SC Mr CHUA Lee Ming Professor Michael FURMSTON Associate Professor Erin GOH-LOW Soen Yin Ms LIEW Woon Yin Mr LOOI Kwok Peng Mr Sundaresh MENON, SC Professor TAN Cheng Han, SC Mr TAN Chuan Thye Ms THIAN Yee Sze Mr THIO Shen Yi, SC Ms Serene WEE Kheng Lian Associate Professor Victor YEO Chuan Seng Professor YEO Tiong Min Associate Professor Dora NEO Mr Francis XAVIER, SC Mrs Grace LEE-KOK       Judge of Appeal Justice Andrew PHANG Boon Leong Chair Justice TAN Lee Meng Professor Michael FURMSTON Associate Professor Erin GOH-LOW Soen Yin Professor TAN Cheng Han, SC Mr TAN Chuan Thye Ms Thian Yee Sze Mrs Grace LEE-KOK Secretary       Judge of Appeal Justice Andrew PHANG Boon Leong Chair Mr David CHONG Gek Sian, SC Mr CHUA Lee Ming Associate Professor LAN Luh Luh Mr Sundaresh MENON, SC Assistant Professor SAW Cheng Lim Mr THIO Shen Yi, SC Associate Professor TAN Lay Hong Associate Professor Dora NEO Professor YEO Tiong Min Mrs Grace LEE-KOK Secretary       Mr Francis XAVIER, SC Chair Ms Mavis CHIONH Vice-Chair Mr Francis NG Mr LEE Terk Yang Ms KOH Swee Yen Mr Christopher ONG Siu Jin Ms RAJAN Menon Smitha Ms Natalie Yu-Lin MORRIS Mrs Grace LEE-KOK Secretary     Judge of Appeal Andrew PHANG Boon Leong Chairman Professor YEO Tiong Min Vice-Chair Mr David CHONG Gek Sian, SC Mr THIO Shen Yi, SC Mr Cavinder BULL, SC Mr LEE Eng Beng, SC Ms Audrey LIM Professor Hans TJIO Associate Professor TANG Hang Wu Ms Margaret CHEW Ms ANG Ching Pin Ms Serene WEE Ex-Officio Mrs Grace LEE-KOK Secretary
