The problems include business enterprises\u2019 liability, climate litigation, and the liability of public bodies. The sessions will equip students with knowledge of civil law approaches in these areas and enable them to develop novel legal and regulatory solutions, which are helpful in common law, too. With a focus on diverse issues such as climate change, supply chain liability, and historical injustices, the course seeks to provide a comparative perspective across different legal systems. We will engage with the principles and doctrines of civil law, examining how these are applied to contemporary problems and how they intersect with public policy and issues of international law.<\/p>\n<p>The course is structured into three modules (A, B, and C), each tackling distinct but interrelated themes: public liability and property rights, climate litigation and historical injustices, and business liability. Throughout these modules, students will be introduced to fundamental aspects of civil law, all while considering their relevance in a globalized world. By the end of the course, students will have developed a nuanced understanding of civil law\u2019s role in shaping legal and regulatory responses to pressing global issues.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-convenor\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Instructor(s)<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><a href=\"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/people\/marie-louise-holle\/\" class=\"content-convenor-text\">Marie-Louise HOLLE<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-dates\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Dates<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><p>Mondays: 6.30pm to 9.30pm<br \/>\nWednesdays: 6.30pm to 9.30pm<br \/>\nFridays: 3.00pm to 6.00pm<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-duration\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Duration<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\">10 August 2026 to 28 August 2026<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-sile\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">SILE-CPD Points<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\">Up to 27 points<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-row \"><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-title\"><a href=\"#\"><span class=\"content-code-text\">LL5320<\/span><span class=\"content-title-text\">International Space Law<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-content\" style=\"display:none;\"><div class=\"content-row content-row-detail\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Details<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><p>Globally, space-derived products and services combine assets and annual revenues in excess of USD350 billion.

Students will be introduced to debates on pre-emption, the use of force in pursuit of self-determination, and terrorism.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-dates\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Dates<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><p>Mondays: 6.30pm to 9.30pm<br \/>\nWednesdays: 6.30pm to 9.30pm<br \/>\nFridays: 3.00pm to 6.00pm<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-duration\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Duration<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\">10 August 2026 to 28 August 2026<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-sile\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">SILE-CPD Points<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\">Up to 27 points<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-row \"><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-title\"><a href=\"#\"><span class=\"content-code-text\">LL5322<\/span><span class=\"content-title-text\">Trade Finance Law<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-content\" style=\"display:none;\"><div class=\"content-row content-row-detail\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Details<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><p>This course considers financial aspects of the private law of international trade, namely payment and guarantees. Consider an international sale of goods. A seller who ships goods overseas without being paid in advance runs a number of financial risks, namely: (1) the buyer\u2019s insolvency before payment is made; (2) the buyer\u2019s wrongful refusal to pay for the goods and litigation in a potentially unfamiliar jurisdiction; (3) a justifiable refusal by the buyer to pay for the goods due to a genuine allegation of non-performance by the seller; (4) political risks leading to non-payment of the price. A buyer who pays in advance also runs the risk that the seller may not ship the goods. Introduction of an intermediary, e.g. banks, in whom the parties repose confidence may help eliminate these risks. This course focuses on various legal mechanisms used in international trade to securely effect payment for the goods and services, payment mechanisms such as collections, documentary credits and bank-to-bank reimbursements. Banks can also help secure contractual performance of the parties to the underlying transaction, which is often achieved with the help of such legal mechanisms as on demand guarantees and standby letters of credit (cumulatively known as autonomous guarantees). Autonomous guarantees may be issued by banks in relation to a wide range of underlaying transactions including sale of goods, shipbuilding, etc. This course focuses on the nature of the obligations undertaken by contracting parties, the principles of strict compliance, irrevocability and autonomy, and also considers various exemptions to the principle of autonomy, including the exceptions of fraud and nullity. The course concentrates on the legal rules promulgated by the International Chamber of Commerce, such as Uniform Customs &#038; Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP 600), Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees and others as well as the relevant case law.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-dates\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Dates<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><p>Mondays: 6.30pm to 9.30pm<br \/>\nWednesdays: 6.30pm to 9.30pm<br \/>\nFridays: 3.00pm to 6.00pm<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-duration\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Duration<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\">10 August 2026 to 28 August 2026<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-sile\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">SILE-CPD Points<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\">Up to 27 points<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>\n\t\t Semester-Long Courses\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>A semester-long course is typically a 36-hour course taught once a week over the course of 13 weeks from August to November 2026.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"ws-course-accordion-container \"><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-row \"><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-title\"><a href=\"#\"><span class=\"content-code-text\">LL5276V<\/span><span class=\"content-title-text\">Advanced Contract Law<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-content\" style=\"display:none;\"><div class=\"content-row content-row-detail\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Details<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><p>Advanced Contract Law invites students to examine some interesting and controversial topics from this foundational subject.

Emphasis will be placed on issues relevant to Singapore and Asia, given Singapore&#8217;s status as a major aviation hub and the exponential growth of the industry in the Asia-Pacific. Topics to be discussed include the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation, bilateral air services agreements, aircraft safety, terrorism and aviation security, and air carrier liability for death or injury to passengers. Competition or antitrust law issues in the industry will also be analysed, alongside business strategies such as code-sharing, frequent flier schemes and airline alliances. The severe competitive environment introduced by weakening economies, war and terrorism and of course, the COVID-19 pandemic, will also be discussed.

In recent times, it has gained prominence because of the increase in mergers and acquisitions activities, arbitration and legal proceedings involving damages assessment and shareholder disputes, application of fair value measurements in financial reporting, and the increased emphasis on the role of intangible assets (and intellectual properties) as key value drivers in business.<\/p>\n<p>As business valuation is deeply anchored in corporate activities, regulators have increasingly stepped up their presence and involvement in this practice area, particularly on matters relating to professionalism, and compliance with code and standards. In the conduct of business valuation, the International Valuation Standards (IVS) as developed by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) is being applied by valuers in more than one hundred countries. IVSC is a global valuation standards setter and membership body that works to promote and grow the valuation profession worldwide. The Institute of Valuers and Appraisers of Singapore (IVAS) (under the auspices of the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA)), that certifies business valuers in Singapore, is a member of the IVSC. Business valuers certified by IVAS are designated as Chartered Valuers and Appraisers (CVA) and will need to comply with the IVS and the code of ethical principles issued by IVSC, when conducting their work in the marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>The subject of business valuation arises frequently in the legal space, particularly in situations relating to insolvency and restructuring, litigation, and mergers and acquisitions. This course is developed for the students to acquire practical knowledge relating to business valuation that is applicable in these circumstances. It will provide the students with the first-hand knowledge of how business valuation is conducted in the \u201creal world\u201d in compliance with the IVS.<\/p>\n<p>The course will commence with an introduction to the key concepts of accounting and finance relating to business valuation. It will then explore the valuation landscape, the role that business valuation plays in the marketplace and study the competences, role, and behaviour of business valuers. Students will learn about the valuation concepts, principles, terms, basis, premises, context, process and reporting requirements. An in-depth study of the various valuation approaches and methods, as stated in the IVS will be carried out. The focus will be on the application of the market, income, and cost (asset-based) approaches (and their respective methods and valuation parameters), in valuing business and equity. Last but not least, contemporary issues and challenges surrounding business valuation will also be covered. This includes matters such as the application of various discounts and premiums, rising importance of intangible assets (and intellectual properties) as key value drivers in business, and the consideration of \u2018Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)\u2019 matters in valuation etc.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-convenor\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Instructor(s)<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><a href=\"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/people\/eric-teo-khee-hwee\/\" class=\"content-convenor-text\">Eric TEO Khee Hwee<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-dates\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Dates<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><p>Thursdays: 9.00am to 12.00pm<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-duration\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Duration<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\">13 August 2026 to 12 November 2026<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-sile\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">SILE-CPD Points<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\">Up to 36 points<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-row \"><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-title\"><a href=\"#\"><span class=\"content-code-text\">LL5008AV<\/span><span class=\"content-title-text\">Carriage of Goods by Sea<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-content\" style=\"display:none;\"><div class=\"content-row content-row-detail\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Details<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><p>This course will focus on the different transport documents which are used in contracts for the carriage of goods by sea.

We then examine the compliance function through the lens of managers, regulators, prosecutors, whistleblowers, and gatekeepers. Next, we consider particular areas of the law: corruption, anti-money laundering, and export controls. We examine case studies where compliance fails and initiatives that go beyond compliance. Finally, we consider risk management as it pertains to lawyers; topics here include the governance of risk; approaches to risk management; reputational, operational, and enterprise risk.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-convenor\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Instructor(s)<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><a href=\"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/people\/viveganandam-jesudevan\/\" class=\"content-convenor-text\">VIVEGANANDAM Jesudevan<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-dates\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Dates<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><p>Thursdays:6.30pm to 9.30pm<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-duration\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Duration<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\">13 August 2026 to 12 November 2026<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-sile\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">SILE-CPD Points<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\">Up to 36 points<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-row \"><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-title\"><a href=\"#\"><span class=\"content-code-text\">LL5244V<\/span><span class=\"content-title-text\">Criminal Practice<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-content\" style=\"display:none;\"><div class=\"content-row content-row-detail\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Details<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><p>The administration of criminal justice in Singapore requires a robust defence. A good criminal defence needs a sound grounding in criminal law and criminal procedure, and a strong base of written and oral advocacy and communication skills. This is an experiential course that takes students through a case from taking instructions all the way through to an appeal, using the structure of the criminal process to teach criminal law, procedure and advocacy skills. This course will give an insight into the realities of criminal practice &#8211; and includes a clinical component which will give students the opportunity to work on active cases.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-convenor\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Instructor(s)<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><a href=\"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/people\/anand-nalachandran\/\" class=\"content-convenor-text\">Anand NALACHANDRAN<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/people\/thrumurgan-thiru-r\/\" class=\"content-convenor-text\">Thrumurgan @ Thiru R.<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-dates\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Dates<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><p>Tuesdays: 3.00pm to 6.00pm<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-duration\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Duration<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\">11 August 2026 to 10 November 2026<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-sile\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">SILE-CPD Points<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\">Up to 36 points<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-row \"><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-title\"><a href=\"#\"><span class=\"content-code-text\">LL5459X<\/span><span class=\"content-title-text\">Environment and Sustainability \u2013 Law, Governance and Practice<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-content\" style=\"display:none;\"><div class=\"content-row content-row-detail\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Details<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><p>This course provides an understanding of the global environmental issues; their effects and interlinkages with sustainable development; the international legal and governance framework and practice as they relate to environmental and sustainability management; and the domestic implementation and impact of such environmental norms and policies.

It has been designed to induct and immerse students who have little to no knowledge of IP law into one of the most interesting and rewarding areas of law, and to provide a strong foundation for those who intend to pursue advanced courses in IP or information technology. Since the practical application of IP law intersects with many other areas of law (e.g. corporate-commercial law, commercial dispute resolution, compliance), students seeking to complement their knowledge with a basic understanding of IP should also find this course helpful.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-convenor\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Instructor(s)<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><a href=\"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/people\/yongquan-benjamin-wong\/\" class=\"content-convenor-text\">YongQuan, Benjamin WONG<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-dates\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Dates<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><p>Thursdays: 12.00pm to 3.00pm<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-duration\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Duration<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\">13 August 2026 to 12 November 2026<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"content-row content-row-sile\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">SILE-CPD Points<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\">Up to 36 points<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-row \"><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-title\"><a href=\"#\"><span class=\"content-code-text\">LL5029V<\/span><span class=\"content-title-text\">International Commercial Arbitration<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"ws-course-accordion-content\" style=\"display:none;\"><div class=\"content-row content-row-detail\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-label\"><span class=\"content-label\">Course Details<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-col content-col-value\"><span class=\"content-detail\"><p>This course aims to equip students with the basic understanding of the law of arbitration to enable them to advise and represent parties in the arbitral process confidence.
