Congratulations to NUS Law Emeritus Professor Antony Anghie on being awarded the Honorary Doctorate in Law by the European University Institute (EUI), in recognition of his
outstanding contribution to international law.

Through his pioneering role in Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), Prof Anghie has opened new ways of thinking about international law, fundamentally changing the way generations of scholars approach the field.

During the ceremony, Profs Sarah Nouwen and Arnulf Becker Lorca reflected on his lasting impact, noting that his greatest strength lies not only in his intellectual contributions, but also in his commitment to "creating a community of scholars" and being "a mentor, friend and source of inspiration for hundreds of people across the globe."

NUS Law was proud to host the 2026 Global Corporate Governance Colloquium (GCGC) in June, bringing together the best research in law, economics and finance on corporate governance.

The annual colloquium rotates among only 12 leading global universities, including Harvard University, University of Oxford and University of Tokyo, and hosting it is a once-in-a-decade milestone. Co-organised by the EW Barker Centre for Law & Business (EWBCLB) and the European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI), the conference welcomed thought leaders from around the world for rigorous discussions on topics ranging from boardroom geopolitics to capital markets and indexation, controlling shareholders and external governance.

Beyond hosting the conference, Conference Chair Professor Umakanth Varottil, Professor Ernest Lim, Associate Professor Lan Luh Luh, Assistant Professor Kenneth Khoo, Professor Hans Tjio and Associate Professor Lin Lin demonstrated the depth of the faculty’s expertise and its role as a leading centre for corporate law and governance scholarship in Asia and globally.

The NUS Faculty of Law warmly congratulates our distinguished alumnus, Justice Sushil Sukumaran Nair '89, on his appointment as Singapore’s fifth Chief Justice. This appointment will take effect on 26 February 2027, the same day Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon '86 is set to retire.  

Justice Nair has held a distinguished career spanning legal practice, public service and the Judiciary. We are immensely proud to see one of our alumni called to the nation's highest judicial office and wish him every success as he prepares to lead the Judiciary into its next chapter.

We also extend our deepest appreciation to Chief Justice Menon, who is also an NUS Law alumnus, for his exceptional service and visionary leadership over the past 14 years. Throughout his tenure, he has strengthened Singapore's justice system, advanced the development of the law, championed judicial innovation, and enhanced Singapore's standing as a trusted global legal hub. 

Congratulations, Justice Nair, and thank you, Chief Justice Menon, for your remarkable contributions to Singapore and the legal profession.

"If I were to give myself one piece of advice, it's to have the courage to really believe that whatever I'm doing is enough for me to become a better student, and eventually, a better lawyer."

Lee Dawn Gene '26 reflects on the lessons that shaped her four years at NUS Law and revisits her unforgettable Jessup journey, culminating in her team's championship victory at the 2026 Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition—a fitting way to conclude her law school journey.

"Much has been said about the pressures facing young lawyers, from new technologies to long working hours. But, day after day, I see that my batchmates are brilliant, pioneering and resolute. I am beyond certain that we will accomplish whatever we set our minds upon."

Theodore Kuah, Valedictorian of the Class of 2026, shares the lessons that stayed with him: embracing setbacks as opportunities to grow, discovering joy in learning, and leaning on the friendships that made the journey worthwhile.
