NEW UKSLSS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 2012 - 2013
We are pleased to announce the UKSLSS Executive Committee for the term 2012-2013. The members of the incoming Committee are as follows:
President: Ian Ernst Chai (Oxford)
Vice-President (Secretarial): Meera Rajah (UCL)
Vice-President (Marketing): Tan Jin Wei (KCL)
Vice-President (Editorial): Theodore Heng (Bristol)
Vice-President (Treasurer): Clemence Kng (Warwick)
Vice-President (Public Relations): Sheryl Koh (UCL)
The outgoing Committee, Joshua, Zhengyou, Patrick, Ann Liang, Joseph and Nicole, would like to thank all members who submitted their applications for consideration and for taking time to attend the interviews; the outstanding quality of applications rendered our decision-making process a highly challenging one. We would like to urge all members who are interested in contributing to the UKSLSS to continuing volunteering where opportunities arise. It is ultimately the participation and enthusiasm of its members that will keep the UKSLSS a dynamic and active community that serves its purpose as a meeting-point and useful source of information for all Singaporean UK law students. Applications for the University Representatives and Editorial Committee will open this September/October 2012, and more information about this will be provided by the new Committee.
The outgoing Committee will be relinquishing our duties after the firm visits, and we hope that all members will give the new Committee the same support that was shown to us this year. We wish all members every success at the start of the new academic year, and we thank you for this opportunity to serve you.
SINGAPORE LEGAL FORUM 2012
The UKSLSS would like to thank all participants who attended the forum on 18 Aug 2012. We hope you had a good time listening to our panelists, the Law Minister, as well as interacting with representatives from our sponsor organisations. We hope to see you at next year's forum.
