Jia Jun, Jeremiah

Jeremiah took his undergraduate degree at NUS. He later read for the Bachelor of Civil Law and the DPhil at University of Oxford. While completing the DPhil he was elected to a Prize Scholarship at Merton College. The scholarship is awarded to research students of the ‘highest academic distinction’. He has also held the position of Stipendiary Lecturer at Oxford, where he taught trusts on the Final Honour School.

He works at the intersection of commercial law and legal history. His recent work has focused on law of pre-judgment interest and the common law’s understanding of the time value of money, both historically and at present. He has published on these and other topics in the Lloyd’s Maritime and Commercial Law Quarterly, the Cambridge Law Journal, the Singapore Journal of Legal Studies, and the Banking and Finance Law Review. He also researches and teaches equity and trusts, and is one of the contributing editors of Snell’s Equity.

His work has been cited by the High Court of Singapore. He has acted as a consultant in commercial litigation in the High Court of England & Wales.

Admitted to the Singapore Bar (2016).
