NUS Law has officially partnered with Legora, adding another leading legal AI platform to its growing AI ecosystem.

Through Legora’s Legal AI Scholars Program, our students and faculty will gain access to tools for legal research, reviewing documents at scale and drafting. The partnership will also allow faculty to embed AI exercises and assignments into existing courses.

Building on our partnerships with Harvey and Lucio, this latest collaboration reflects NUS Law’s commitment to preparing students for a legal profession increasingly shaped by AI — equipping them with the skills to use these tools effectively, critically and responsibly.

Our Negotiator Team, comprising Taesha Tan ’27, Ellery Tan ’27, Dorthy Wang ’27 and Li Tianao ’27, advanced to the Final and finished as Overall Runners-Up among the Negotiator teams, while also taking home the Best Mediation Strategy award. Taesha Tan ’27 was additionally named Best Negotiation Advocate.

It was inspiring to see that level of international exchange take place on home ground.”
