Brief Biodata

Michael Hor studied law in Singapore (NUS, 1984), Oxford (BCL, 1990), and Chicago (LLM, 1998). He worked in the Singapore Legal Service administering insolvencies and other forms of justice (1984-1987) before joining the Faculty. He now delights in all things criminal, evidential and constitutional, and in whatever spare time he has he dabbles in law publishing (Chief Editor of the Singapore Journal of Legal Studies, Member of the Editorial Committee of the Singapore Academy of Law Journal, Member of the Advisory Committee of the Singapore Law Review), curriculum reform (Member of the Faculty Academic Affairs Committee), high-rise gardening (all kinds of ginger, lime, rosemary, mint, basil, and possibly pepper) and period bread-baking (without machines)- a result of which is that he believes that legal education is not very different from growing plants, and legal scholarship is akin to preparing a gourmet meal.
