Attorney-General Chan Sek Keong '61 is the first NUS Faculty of Law graduate to be appointed Chief Justice. He was sworn in by President S R Nathan on 11 April 2006 following the retirement of Chief Justice Yong Pung How LLD '01. The Attorney-General was among the inaugural batch of 22 graduates from the then University of Malaya, the predecessor of the National University of Singapore.
 
Two other Law Faculty alumni have also been appointed to the Bench - Mr Lee Seiu Kein '86 and Mr Sundaresh Menon '86. They join Judge Andrew Phang Boon Leong '82, who was appointed Judge of Appeal earlier this year.
