[ Dean’s Message ] countries. For the coming academic year, we have received a record number of almost 400 applicants from more than 30 countries with applications yet to close. With the larger numbers has also come a rise in the quality of students and indeed we are under no financial pressure to increase student numbers for higher revenue. This is a happy state of affairs and my personal view is that we should continue to maintain our existing numbers and focus on continuing to increase the quality of our graduate students which has also become a potential source of legal talent for law firms in Singapore. The competitive higher education landscape means that it is imperative that the NUS law school continues to innovate and improve. The global competition amongst law schools will intensify in the years ahead and we cannot afford to be complacent. If we don’t keep running we will be overtaken. I am glad that we do not run alone. Increasingly, our alumni are running with us by offering their support in a variety of ways. Thank you for this. We very much appreciate all the assistance that you have given to us and will continue to provide us with. On our part, we will continue to build a law school that you will continue to be proud of. Finally, let me wish our alumni a successful year in 2008.

[ Law School Highlights ] Launch of commemorative book on 50 Years of Legal Education in Singapore by President S R Nathan The Faculty of Law’s commemorative book Scales of Gold: 50 Years of Legal Education at the Faculty of Law was officially launched by Singapore’s President, His Excellency S R Nathan, at the NUS Bukit Timah Campus on the afternoon of Tuesday 18 September 2007. A former student of the University of Malaya when it was located at the Bukit Timah Campus, President S R Nathan took a walk down memory lane as he was brought on a guided tour of the restored and refitted campus by NUS President Professor Shih Choon Fong, Ambassadorat-Large and Chairman of the NUS Faculty of Law Advisory Board Professor Tommy Koh ’61, and Dean of NUS Faculty of Law Professor Tan Cheng Han ’87. Written by Dr Kevin Tan ’86, NUS law alumnus and former Faculty member, the commemorative book traces the Faculty of Law’s development from a department offering a law degree for the first time to the whole of Malaysia and Singapore, to the current NUS Faculty of Law that is today touted as Asia’s Global Law School. Scales of Gold: 50 Years of Legal Education at the Faculty of Law may be purchased from the NUS Faculty of Law (please contact Alumni Relations and Development at Tel: 6516 3616 or email: celestine@nus.edu.sg).
