[ Law School Highlights ] The Old Law Fac Midway up the convex paths between the road and buildings old, stands the old rain tree ashen, grim, and rooted deep; In the buildings, and in the halls, where time has spun fifty years full, students and dons, scholars all, regroup within the once musty library walls since rebuilt and painted new, and bearing the name of Koh; more names - Dicey, Bromley, Smith, and Holmes, wade through decades to meet us still in the library beyond the hill. Older minds recall, some with maudlin tears, of whisky, stout, and beer free flowing in the nearby Guild; some have never paid, some never left its gates. Those other sober some remember only books with browned out leaves, gripped firmly above their heads as they slopped through floods that some years bring. Heavy is the heart that feels - not for moments when Dicey wasn’t getting through, but for not branching far enough and pulling back the ones we lost. Those who stayed have prospered too; reminiscing the ‘fifty’ past, they now yearn for fifty more. Choo Han Teck ’79 14 LawLink
[ Law School Highlights ] The National University of Singapore Faculty of Law hosted its 50th Anniversary Gala Dinner at the Shangri-La Hotel on Saturday 1 September 2007, to commemorate its milestone achievement of 50 years of formal legal education. The dinner brought together the Faculty’s former Deans, staff as well as alumni and proved to be an elegant affair with a gathering of some of the most distinguished and prominent members of the legal profession. The Guest-of-Honour was The Honourable The Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong, alumnus of the Faculty’s pioneer Class of 1961. Other distinguished guests at the dinner included Deputy Prime Minister Professor S. Jayakumar (former Dean and alumnus, Class of 1963); Minister for Transport and Second Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr Raymond Lim Siang Keat (former faculty member); Ambassador-atlarge Professor Tommy Koh (former Dean and alumnus, Class of 1961); Attorney-General Mr Chao Hick Tin and Solicitor-General Professor Walter Woon (former faculty member and alumnus, Class of 1981). The Department of Law of the then University of Malaya began its first classes in September 1957 with an intake of 42 full-time students. Within a short span of 50 years, the Faculty, through its innovative curriculum, international collaborations, achievements in international moot competitions and list of illustrious graduate students, has achieved recognition as Asia’s leading Global Law School.
