Professor Teo Keang Sood awarded the Public Service Medal and Associate Professor Robert Beckman awarded the Public Administration Medal

Professor Teo Keang Sood was awarded the Public Service Medal at this year’s National Day for his work with the Singapore Academy of Law, in particular his editorship of the publication entitled Annual Review of Singapore Cases which has enriched the corpus of Singapore law. Under his editorship, this publication has grown in strength from an initial fifteen chapters in the inaugural First Volume in 2000 to twenty-two chapters in the latest Seventh Volume in 2006.

Professor Teo attributed the success of the Annual Review of Singapore Cases to teamwork. As he said, “This award is truly on behalf, and in recognition, of all contributors, members of the excellent editorial team and that of the Publications Committee of the Singapore Academy of Law who worked tirelessly to make the Annual Review a success.”

Associate Professor Robert Beckman was awarded the Public Administration Medal (Bronze) for his contributions to the Faculty of Law as Vice-Dean (Academic Affairs). During his Vice-Deanship from 2001 to May 2006, Professor Beckman chaired the Academic Affairs Review Committee that reviewed the core curriculum and made important recommendations that led to the Legal Analysis Writing and Research programme and the introduction of 3 new perspective courses - Introduction to Legal Theory, Singapore Legal System, and Comparative Legal Tradition.
