Brief Biodata

Goh Yihan graduated at the top of his LLB class at NUS on a NUS Undergraduate Scholarship, during which he also spent a year on exchange at Columbia Law School. He joined the Singapore Legal Service thereafter, and served two years at the Supreme Court of Singapore as a Justices' Law Clerk and, later, concurrently as the Senior Justices' Law Clerk and an Assistant Registrar. After his time with the Legal Service, he joined the Faculty of Law at NUS as a Teaching Assistant in 2008 and taught both Contract and Torts. In the same year, he was awarded the NUS Overseas Graduate Scholarship, with which he is currently pursuing a LLM at Harvard Law School in 2009/10.

Yihan's research interests are primarily in the law of contract and torts, with a secondary interest in the principles of statutory interpretation and the legal process generally. He has published in local journals like the Singapore Journal of Legal Studies and the Singapore Academy of Law Journal, as well as overseas journals such as the Law Quarterly Review, the Journal of Contract Law, the Oxford University Commonwealth Law Journal, the Civil Justice Quarterly and the Statute Law Review.
