NUS Law is Asia’s global law school, ranking as the top law school in Asia and within the top 15 in the world. Staffed by an outstanding faculty diverse in origin and qualifications, NUS Law facilitates critical thinking on fundamental and topical legal issues, while offering a vibrant cosmopolitan atmosphere—for visiting professors, researchers and students from around the world.
In addition to its rigorous teaching programme, the Faculty is a major source of research on legal issues affecting Singapore, the region and beyond. NUS Law produces the Singapore Journal of Legal Studies, as well as the Asian Journal of Comparative Law and the Asian Journal of International Law. NUS Law regularly publishes in these and other leading journals and produces its own monographs.
Underscoring NUS Law’s commitment to thought leadership, academic excellence and public engagement, the law school engages with the public across multiple media channels, including via a podcast series based on articles from the Singapore Journal of Legal Studies—a world first in legal publishing.
NUS Law alumni occupy the ranks of the judiciary, government, academia, private practice, business, the arts and media communities, as well as almost every niche of professional life in Singapore. Many of our alumni have also achieved prominence in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia.
A successor institution to the former Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS), the EW Barker Centre for Law & Business seeks to enhance and promote research and educational opportunities for faculty, students, legal practitioners and business executives who share a common interest in the fields of Law, Business and Economics. These opportunities will be encouraged through the Centre's work and sponsorship of seminars, conferences and research endeavours. The EW Barker Centre for Law & Business will also engage in appropriate research projects commissioned by industry from time to time.
The vision of EWBCLB is to be the leading law centre in Asia in the field of Law and Business, and one of the leading research institutions in this field globally. It will seek to do this through inter-disciplinary work that has a strong comparative law focus, which includes examining the extent to which legal convergence is taking place in a globalized and interconnected world.
