Two?\u201d held on 27th October 2025, Professor of Law Prince Saprai of University College London defended Charles Fried\u2019s claim in\u00a0Contract as Promise\u00a0that contracts, like promises, invoke trust. While much of the \u201ccontract and promise\u201d debate focused on whether key contractual doctrines converge with or diverge from the rules governing promises outside the law, Fried\u2019s aforementioned claim has received comparatively little attention, with the notable exception of Dori Kimel.<\/div><div class='gallery-link'>View Video ><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class='col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 row-eq-height'><a href='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AgX4tazgcIY' target='_blank'><div class='gallery-block'><div class='gallery-image'><img src='https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/clt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/CLTSSLT251013-14.png' \/><\/div><div class='gallery-desc has-image'><div class='gallery-title'><h5>SSLT 2025: Legal Facts<\/h5><\/div><div class='gallery-date'>13 October 2025<\/div><div class='gallery-excerpt'>In the seminar \u201cLegal Facts\u201d held on 13th October 2025, Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Philosophy and Law Andrei Marmor of Cornell University conducted a metaphysical inquiry into the nature of legal facts. Building on Hans Kelsen\u2019s conception of law as a scheme of interpretation, Marmor explores how the idea of legal significance as an interpretive construct applies to all semantic and symbolic aspects of human cultures. Crucially, for such broad application to be rendered intelligible, Marmor challenges Kelsen\u2019s view that legal facts derive their validity from the presupposition of a basic norm.<\/div><div class='gallery-link'>View Video ><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class='col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 row-eq-height'><a href='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XN3roVSy7N8' target='_blank'><div class='gallery-block'><div class='gallery-image'><img src='https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/clt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/660x370-1.png' \/><\/div><div class='gallery-desc has-image'><div class='gallery-title'><h5>SSLT 2025: Intrinsic Duties and Constitutional Goods<\/h5><\/div><div class='gallery-date'>26 August 2025<\/div><div class='gallery-excerpt'>The Singapore Symposium in Legal Theory 2025: \"Intrinsic Duties and Constitutional Goods\" by Associate Professor Lael K.
