SMU Law Academy

ABOUT

The SMU Law Academy (previously known as CLE) has an established record of providing the legal profession with high quality seminars and other opportunities to remain fully informed about contemporary legal developments in today’s fast-paced world. Our carefully curated programme is developed with the profession’s multi-faceted needs in mind, and meets the requirements of the mandatory Continuing Professional Development (CPD) scheme administered by the Singapore Institute of Legal Education (SILE). Our Academy events are conducted by prominent faculty, practitioners and judges at our modern School of Law building, which boasts state-of-the-art teaching facilities and is conveniently located in the heart of the city, within walking distance of the Supreme Court.

The SMU Law Academy also administers the Auditing Scheme for applicants to audit selected courses in our LL.B., J.D. and the LL.M. programmes. The Auditing Scheme enables members of the legal profession to consolidate and upgrade their understanding of the law in a more comprehensive fashion. For foreign lawyers, this programme offers an ideal opportunity to become intimately familiar with the workings of Singapore law in fundamental areas like contract, tort or IP. Participants can choose from an exciting list of law core modules and electives.

We look forward to welcoming you at the SMU Law Academy.
