What You'll Learn
While the Singapore legal system was derived from the English system, many of its institutions' rules and practices have changed. This course is designed to walk participants through the legal history of Singapore, its sources of law, the various legal institutions and the legal profession in the country, before delving into specific topics that may be unique to Singapore. These topics include administrative law, constitutional law, commercial law (in relation to laws on contract, tort and equity). This course will explore how Singapore’s legal system is shaped and will also discuss how Singapore law has departed from its English origins in both application and development. Broken into three parts, this course will expose participants to the origins of Singapore’s legal system, discuss the autochthonous aspects of Singapore law as well as the future of the Singapore legal landscape.
