The NUS Faculty of Law has partnered Käden Boriss, a law firm based in India, and the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) to organise the inaugural International Infrastructure and Construction Law Arbitration Moot Competition (IICLAM). The competition will be held on 27th and 28th October 2007 at the Radisson Hotel in New Delhi, India, and will focus on the resolution of commercial disputes arising out of infrastructure and construction projects. Participants are expected to come from law schools in South Asia, primarily India, as well as law schools in South-east and East Asia. NUS Law and SIAC will sponsor the prizes at the competition.

Associate Professor Alan Tan, Vice-Dean of Research and Graduate Studies, says NUS Law is delighted to be involved with Käden Boriss and SIAC as co-organiser and sponsor of the inaugural competition. "As Asia's Global Law School, NUS Law has long been at the forefront of international co-operation in legal education, including faculty research collaborations and student mooting competitions. Our support for this Moot Competition also underlines our belief in the emergence of South Asia as a leading provider of legal services. This is reflected in the ever-growing enrolment of South Asian students in our LLM and PhD graduate programmes every year, and NUS Law hopes to continue to play a role in enhancing the quality of legal education in Asia and beyond", adds Assoc. Prof. Tan.
