Criminal Justice Club

The NUS Law – Criminal Justice Club (“CJC”) was founded in September 2009 with the purpose of raising awareness about criminal law in Singapore and providing opportunities for students to engage with the criminal justice system. CJC now encompasses seven projects; The Recourse Initiative (formerly the Innocence Project Singapore), CJC-CLAS, Military Justice Project, The Criminal Law Digest (formerly “On The Ground”), CJC Events, CJC Forensics, and CJC-Publicity (a newly-established project which aims to garner publicity and support for CJC's six other projects). These projects seek to make positive contributions to the criminal justice system in Singapore, as well as to foster a lasting interest in criminal pro bono work amongst law students.

Witness Orientation Project
This project involves the creation and distribution of a children’s book that, through the use of comic strips, will give readers an insight into the Singapore court systems and procedures in an accessible manner.  The book will orientate witnesses by familiarising them with the ambience and layout of the court, help witnesses understand their roles, and relieve their concerns about attending trials. Additionally, the book strives to provide emotional support for vulnerable witnesses through the art of storytelling, where the characters of the comic become someone the witnesses can identify with and relate to.

Criminal Justice Club
The CJC was formed with the purpose to carry out pro bono work in the area of criminal law. Besides its Innocence Project founded in 2012, the Criminal Justice Club has expanded its activities to include Military Justice Project, the NPCC Law Course and various other projects relating to criminal law.

Criminal Justice Club
The CJC was formed in September 2009. Its guiding motto Veritatis Et Aequitatis Tenax, is Latin for persevering in truth and justice, and this represents the club’s spirit and dedication to criminal law and criminal justice in Singapore. The club currently has more than 100 members. The CJC has five main arms: namely the Events Team, Project HELP Centre, the Innocence Project (Singapore), MJP, and the Criminal Law Website Project (CLWP). In January 2016, the CJC launched the new CJC-CLAS Initiative in collaboration with CLAS under the Law Society. These 5 projects work cohesively towards the fundamental common goal of raising awareness of important criminal justice issues amongst the student body and the public alike whilst advocating positive change in Singapore’s criminal justice landscape. Among the key successes of the CJC in past years are the work of the Innocence Project (Singapore) and the annual Criminal Law Conference.
