Like Baloo of The Jungle Book, I have been involved in the teaching of law (and more specifically, Company Law) for a long time. Company Law is considered to be an essential subject for all lawyers in Singapore. This is borne out by its inclusion as a compulsory paper in Part A of the Bar Examination conducted by the Singapore Institute of Legal Education ("SILE") for graduates of foreign universities intending to be called to the Bar, even though it is not mandatory in many LLB courses abroad. This short piece is a distillation of my experiences not only as a teacher of law but also as a legal practitioner in both the public and private sector over a period of more than thirty years, as well as a member of the board of directors of several listed and non-listed companies. On the basis of that experience, may I proffer the following thoughts on the teaching of Company Law specifically and on legal_x000D_ teaching generally, in the hope of provoking some reflection and discussion.
