I truly wanted to be good at criminal law. I think my interest in criminal law was stoked in boot camp. Boot camp was the first two introductory modules that we would take as freshmen in the SUSS School of Law. It was four full Saturdays where we went through intense introductory and preparatory lessons. [...]
Those close to me have always known me to be someone who would stand up for the underdog. Since I was in school, there would sometimes be a particular kid who would get picked on. I would usually feel for that kid. Try to get him included in the general group (I came from an [...]
This semester has been a real struggle for me in terms of dealing with the modules in law school. I am finding criminal law extremely difficult. The modules gone by, constitutional law, the law of business organisations, torts, and contracts pale in comparison to the complexity of criminal law. I have two modules to clear [...]
This semester is truly a struggle for me. I am still getting to grips with understanding criminal law. During one Thursday's class, we went through a class referring to the Children and Young Persons Act 1993 (2020 Rev Ed) ("CYPA"). My lecturer, who happens to be an accomplished criminal lawyer, referred the class to a [...]
In this instance, let us take the simplistic view that a defendant posted alleged defamatory statements about the plaintiff on Facebook.

I felt that doing the paper in the comfort of my home [...]
Once again, we've reached the end of classes as we know it. This semester has been rather hectic. I do think that overall, having two modules instead of four is a lot less hectic. That is not to say that I found this semester's modules easy. A heads up for those that will eventually move [...]
In my torts course this semester, I came across the case of Kuwait Airways Corp v Iraqi Airways Co [2002] AC 883 ("Kuwait Airways"). It was a case whereby the plaintiff, Kuwait Airways Corp (KAC), was suing the defendant, Iraqi Airways Co (IAC) in tort. KAC succeeded in making out the case that KAC had converted [...]
I believe someone tried to say that our beloved law school is not as good as some other law school. So many of my classmates have been asking me how I feel about this. I honestly do not know. I didn't see the post as I have not logged into my Facebook account for some [...]
It's been 16 frantic months into my journey as a student at SUSS School of Law. Perhaps now it's time to take stock of my experience thus far and hopefully, this will give an insight into the law programme at SUSS for those who are thinking of applying to our beloved school. I've been getting [...]
