Starting an academic career at NUS Law

So, you want to become a professor? Or maybe you are thinking of pursuing a career in law off the well-worn path into private practice or government?  Well, this talk is for you.

Being a law professor offers many opportunities for development and fulfilment, both personal and professional. Yet many people do not know where to begin, and there are pitfalls for the unwary.

Join a panel of NUS Law professors who will share their experiences and insights about an academic career in the law. We will also be discussing the Sheridan Fellowship programme, which aims to develop talented young lawyers into academics fit for tenure-track positions within the Faculty.
