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, China, New
Zealand and a US
Supreme Court
Associate Justice.
Copies of the
Lectures can be
found in our
Press Room. |
