The Legal
Heritage Committee carries
out activities to preserve,
document and promote a
greater awareness of
Singapore's legal history.
To this end, various oral
history projects have been
undertaken, including one
with Professor Lionel Astor
“Lee” Sheridan, the first
Dean of the Law Faculty of
the National University of
Singapore. To enhance the
quality of these projects,
the
National Archives of
Singapore has been
contracted to organize,
archive and maintain all
interview recordings
pursuant to their best
practices.

In 2005,
Essays in
Singapore Legal History
was conceptualised and
published, detailing the
history of the legal system
and profession in Singapore,
including topics such as the
history of law reporting,
the development of the land
registration system, and the
history of the Singapore
Legal Service.
A – perhaps the –
highlight of 2008 for the
Legal Heritage Committee was
the
Legal Heritage
Exhibition 2008, held in
conjunction with the
Academy’s 20th Anniversary
celebrations. A tremendous
outreach programme,
Singaporeans from all walks
of life were treated to a
tour of the old Supreme
Court building, including
areas previously closed to
the public such as the
lock-ups and the Chief
Justice’s Chamber. |
