Preserving the soul of the city: Celebrating innovation at NUS Law social impact competition (opens in new tab)
Continuity is rarely about standing still; it is about rooting progress in a recognisable identity. Just as NUS Law anchors its modern, interdisciplinary future by returning home to Kent Ridge, this year’s Linklaters Social Impact Competition turns its lens toward a similar vital anchor—the intangible “soul” of our city.
In that vein, the NUS Centre for Pro Bono and Clinical Legal Education (CPBCLE) hosted the inspiring finale of the Linklaters Social Impact Competition AY2025–26 on 15 May 2026. Co-sponsored and initiated by global law firm Linklaters, this year’s challenge ventured into a more ethereal yet vital domain: the heritage and culture in Singapore.
Pro bono work offers a crucial life lesson—that the value of a lawyer lies in the impact that he or she has upon the lives of clients, beyond charge-out rates.
That message was highlighted by Professor Andrew Simester, Dean of National University of Singapore Faculty of Law, in his welcome address at the Centre for Pro Bono & Clinical Legal Education’s (CPBCLE’s) 10th Pro Bono Awards Ceremony on 4 February 2026. In attendance were representatives from Tanjong Pagar Community Club, Pro Bono SG, Unity Secondary School, the State Courts and Office of the Public Guardian.
