In addition to these activities happening at the Bukit Timah Campus, those of you who visit the main Kent Ridge Campus will also have a chance to interact with our staff and students at our Open House booth (look for the yellow one!).

To make things more exciting, Vice-Dean, Academic Affairs, Associate Professor Victor Ramraj will be presenting on the Faculty of Law and our programmes at the Kent Ridge Campus. He will be joined by students who will share their undergraduate experience in the faculty, as well as alumni who are now in the legal profession.

His presentation schedule is as follows on both days:

11am to 12pm – Hall 6

3pm to 4pm – Hall 6

Here are the details of the programmes happening through these two days of fun-filled events!

Professor-Student Seminar

This is an opportune time to hear the other side of law school from a first hand perspective that one cannot get from brochures and the prospectus. In an informal seminar style setting, law professors alongside current students will be giving useful tips on "Law School – Survival Techniques 101". This will include issues like how to get into your professors' good books, making it through the dreaded law school exams alive and looking sober for 9am lectures on a Thursday morning.

Here's how the schedule looks like:

Saturday Seminar 1
Assoc Prof Alan Tan, Assoc Prof Eleanor Wong and Asst Prof Helena Whalen-Bridge

Saturday Seminar 2
Prof Michael Hor and Asst Prof Helena Whalen-Bridge

Sunday Seminar 1
Assoc Prof Alan Tan, Assoc Prof Kumaralingam Amirthalingam and Asst Prof Helena Whalen-Bridge

Mock Trials and Moots Demonstrations

Watch the top minds of Law School pit their speaking skills against each other in mock court trials in the brand new Bukit Timah Campus Moot Court. The adversarial system of law in Singapore will be showcased in this exciting display of wits and mental acuity.

Live Gigs

Law School isn't just about books and libraries; the silence of the corridors is often broken by blazing guitar riffs and heart-thumping drum solos. Come down and let Law's musical talents belt out the latest hits and one or two old classics, just for you.

LSIRC Table Discussion

Erudite. Sagacious. Learned. The pedagogues.
Cosmopolitan. Global. Unifying. The International Students.

What do the chairman of Singapore’s largest opposition party, a civil society activist-playwright, and a constitutional law professor have in common? Join our international students and our three guest speakers namely Ms Sylvia Lim, Mr Alfian Sa'at and Asst Prof Arun Kumar Thiruvengadam for a two-hour, no-holds barred discussion on comparative democratic processes.
