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.

NUS Law students delivered an outstanding performance at the Covenant Chambers Equity and Trusts Moot Competition 2026.

Chua Theron ’28 emerged as Champion, while Adrian Anand Selvin ’27 received the first runner-up award. Lucius Choo ’28 and Chandrasekaran Krisnujith ’28 were named joint second runners-up, with Lucius also receiving the Best Memorial award.

The competition culminated in the Grand Finals on 18 September, where the four finalists navigated a dispute involving competing claims to digital assets held on trust. The moot challenged participants to apply trust principles, honing their analytical reasoning and oral advocacy skills.

Well done to all our winners on their impressive performances!

Our NUS Law pickleball team emerged as Champions in pickleball’s debut at the Inter-Faculty Games (IFG) 2026!

One of NUS’ largest sporting events, the IFG brings together students from across the University to compete for faculty pride. Against strong competition from fellow faculties, our students rose to the challenge and delivered an outstanding performance to claim the championship title.

Led by captain Emmanuelle Seow ’29, the championship-winning team comprised Joy Ong ’28, Wee E Wen ’29, Scott Lim ’30, Ian Chong ’27, Joseph Lee ’28, Dylan Tan ’28 and Deborah Lim ’28.

Reflecting on their victory, team founders Dylan Tan ’28 and Joseph Lee ’28 shared, “We founded NUS Law Pickleball and built the team from scratch, so winning the inaugural IFG championship was especially satisfying. Everyone put in the work, pushed each other to improve and delivered when it mattered. We're proud to have led that team.”

"With a background in the sciences, I wanted to pursue my legal education at the forefront of research and innovation. Singapore, as a global hub for these fields, was the perfect place. At NUS Law, I knew I would receive a world-class education that would prepare me to navigate Asian and international legal landscapes.”

Congratulations to NUS Law alumna Charmaine Yap ’18, on receiving the 2026 International Bar Association (IBA) Outstanding Young Lawyer Award!

Presented at the IBA Annual Conference in Copenhagen, the award recognises young lawyers who have shown excellence in their work and a commitment to professional and ethical standards. Ms Yap is only the second Singaporean to receive this prestigious honour, following fellow NUS Law alumnus Remy Choo ’10 in 2016.

Reflecting on the recognition, Ms Yap shared, “I am glad to be a part of the legacy of Singapore lawyers making an impact on the world stage for public interest work. But there is more to do for migrant workers, and I hope this gives momentum to the work many of us are doing.”

Congratulations to our NUS Law teams on an outstanding showing at the inaugural Maxwell Challenge 2026!

As Singapore’s first premier mediation moot competition, the Maxwell Challenge provides an international platform for students to develop advanced mediation skills, with a competition format designed to mirror real-world mediation process.

Our Mediator Team, comprising Nirupan Navaneethan ’27 and Cassandra Goh ’28, emerged as the Overall Winner among the Mediator teams and received the Best Mediation Management award.

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.

Reflecting on the experience, Taesha shared: “What stood out to me was that the Maxwell Challenge brought the same format and calibre of competition we'd previously had the privilege of experiencing overseas right here to Singapore. It was inspiring to see that level of international exchange take place on home ground.”

Well done to both teams for their impressive performances!
