Jones Day Foundation’s U$2 million gift establishes two visiting professorships

The Jones Day CALS Visiting Professorship on the Rule of Law in Asia is one of two new visiting professorships established at NUS Law through a generous endowed gift of US$2 million from the Jones Day Foundation, with the gift being the largest single donation from a law firm foundation to NUS Law to date. As part of the tenth anniversary celebrations for the Centre for Asian Legal Studies (CALS), the first Jones Day CALS Visiting Professor on the Rule of Law in Asia, the Honourable Justice Ayesha Malik of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, delivered a professorial lecture on “Judicial Review and the Rule of Law”. As Guest-of-Honour, Ms Indranee Rajah, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office and Second Minister for Finance and National Development, gave the opening speech for the professorial lecture that capped CALS’ one-day conference titled The State of Asian Legal Studies: Past, Present, and Future. NUS Law plans to appoint the Jones Day Visiting Professor on Comparative Commercial Law next year.
