The Singapore Law Review

You are invited!

The Singapore Law Review cordially invites you to the SLR Symposium 2007. Come witness our 6 finalists argue their brilliant papers before our judges Dr. Kevin Tan, Professor Michael Hor and lawyers from the sponsoring firm TS Oon & Bazul. You can play a part too in determining the finalists’ performance — the skill with which they respond to questions from the judges AND audience will contribute towards their final results.

And be our guests for the very sumptuous buffet dinner after the event! (more…)

As of 5pm, Friday 19 Jan 2007, submissions for the writing competition have closed.

Names of the short-listed participants will be released next week (week of 22nd January). The short-listed participants will then proceed to present their papers at the Symposium, which will be held in the week of 12th February.

A small error seems to have downed the website for a short while. For those who visited this site during the downtime, apologies. We’d be restoring as much of the website as soon as possible.

A first priority however, would be to provide the SLR Competition Rules and Regulations and SLR Competition Entry Form (for those who cannot access their emails or any other stranger reason) for the SLR Writing Competition and Symposium. Click on the links for them.

Don’t let our problems stop you from writing! Here’s an administrative check-list for those finishing their work:

• The Deadline for submissions is 19 January 2007 at 5 pm
• 3 printed copies of the essay should be submitted to Mailbox 1251 (4th floor, Block B) before the deadline. A completed entry form (SLR Competition Entry Form) should be attached as a cover page to each copy of the physical essay submission. The copies should be placed inside an envelope labelled with the name and matriculation number of the entrant.
• 1 Microsoft Word Document containing the soft copy of the essay should be sent via email to writingcomp@singaporelawreview.org
• If you need more motivation, you might want to take note of the prizes: The winner of the Singapore Law Review Writing Competition and Symposium 2007 will receive $1000 in prize money. The 1st runner-up will receive $500, with the 2nd runners-up each receiving $250. The remaining short-listed finalists will also receive a consolation prize of $100 each. The short-listed finalists will have an opportunity both of enjoying a paid internship at the sponsoring firm, TS Oon & Bazul. Short-listed entries will also become the property of the SLR and have the opportunity of being published in the Singapore Law Review Journal.

Refer to the SLR Competition Rules and Regulations for more information, conversely you may read the rest of the entry as reference (the information provided below is not a substitute for the official document, which is linked above). The SLR Writing Competition and Symposium 2007 is proudly sponsored by TS Oon & Bazul. (more…)

NUS Students gained value insight about journal writing from Prof Andrew Perry Simester, who spoke at the Singapore Law Review Writing Workshop on 31st October 2006. Prof Simester went over the rigours of journal writing, from conception to completing the article. Attendees would find Prof Simester’s advice valuable not only for their assignments, but also for the upcoming SLR Writing Competition, the details of which would be soon announced.

The SLR Writing Workshop was kindly sponsored by T S Oon and Bazul.
