The 5th NUS-Sydney Law Symposium
The symposium was held at NUS Law, from 30 September to 1 October 2016. Jointly organised by the Julius Stone Institute for Jurisprudence (Sydney) and the NUS Law Centre for Legal Theory, the symposium focused on the theme “Law, Values and Reason”.
The Symposium, convened by Nicole Roughan (NUS Law) and Kevin Walton (Sydney Law), hopes to encourage broad engagement across both Faculties, between scholars working on theoretical questions in any field, not simply jurisprudence narrowly construed.
