The Centre for Asian Legal Studies – Thammasat University Faculty of Law Peer Learning Initiative, or CATPLI, is a student-led project that was started in 2021, and formally launched in 2022, with the long-term goal of promoting direct knowledge exchange and academic collaboration between the law students at the National University of Singapore and Thammasat University. In this regard, CATPLI works closely with its sister project, the Thammasat University Comparative Legal Studies, also known as TUCLS.

CATPLI’s fourth workshop "An Introduction to the Basics of Singapore Tort Law" seeks to introduce Thai law students to the basic principles of tort law in Singapore. Organised and conducted by students from the Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore, this workshop consists of 5 weekly online sessions and two on-site sessions at Faculty of Law, Thammasat University (Tha Prachan Campus).

CATPLI Writes

In 2022, CATPLI and TUCLS jointly launched a new sub-initiative, called CATPLI Writes. As its overarching aim, CATPLI Writes aims to promote student scholarship amongst the law students of both faculties by providing a platform for students to showcase their legal research, thinking, and writing skills. The first tranche of articles was successfully published with the Singapore Law Review, as a special volume.

This project is a collaboration between the Centre for Asian Legal Studies at the Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore and Thammasat University Faculty of Law.
