Journal Publications
The Law School publishes three professional journals:
The Singapore Journal of Legal Studies (SJLS) has been in continuous publication since 1959 when it first appeared as the University of Malaya Law Review. Institutional changes made it necessary for the journal to be re-named twice, first as the Malaya Law Review and then the Singapore Journal of Legal Studies. Together with its predecessor journals, the journal is one of the oldest legal journals in the British Commonwealth. As the first legal journal in Singapore, it has witnessed the legal, political and social development of Singapore. The journal traces the development of common law in Asia, particularly Singapore and Malaysia, and also covers international and comparative legal developments. Its coverage has theoretical or practical appeal or a mixture of both. The journal continues to interest lawyers, academics and observers in and outside the common law world.

The Asian Journal of International Law, published by Cambridge University Press since 2011, succeeded the Singapore Year Book of International Law and publishes peer-reviewed scholarly articles and book reviews on public and private international law. The focus on the region is broad; some articles focus specifically on Asian issues while others bring one of the many Asian perspectives to bear on issues of global concern. The journal is intended to be of general interest to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers located in or working on Asia. The journal is produced for the Asian Society of International Law (AsianSIL) by NUS Law.

The Asian Journal of Comparative Law (AsJCL) is the leading forum for research and discussion of the law and legal systems of Asia. It embraces work that is theoretical, empirical, socio-legal, doctrinal or comparative that relates to one or more Asian legal systems, as well as work that compares one or more Asian legal systems with non-Asian systems. The Journal seeks articles which display an intimate knowledge of Asian legal systems, and thus provides a window into the way they work in practice. The AsJCL is an initiative of the Asian Law Institute (ASLI), an association established by thirteen leading law schools in Asia and with a rapidly expanding membership base across Asia and in other regions around the world.
