Constitutional Law and Criminal Justice Club (CCJC)

CCJC is a club focused on anything related to criminal and constitutional law. The club is divided into sub-teams, each specialising in a certain area:

JC Dialogue Sessions: Members of our club work with Junior Colleges and pre-university institutions where we deliver mini-seminars on introductory Constitutional/Criminal law topics.

Talks: We bring in distinguished speakers and host talks/dialogue sessions for all students. Later this month, we are hosting a very interesting talk with Deputy AG Hri Kumar on what considerations take place behind the scenes when the prosecution decides to prosecute or not. We are also exploring talks hosted by practitioners and judges in the future.

Mitigation Plea Project: We also have a project where we help criminal defendants without legal representation write mitigation pleas to the court, in hopes of reducing their sentences.

Criminal Law Publications: This team is in charge of all publications relating to criminal law. Currently, they are working on the CrimLaw Digests collaborative initiative with the Criminal Practice Committee. Here, we help summarise the recent criminal law cases which practitioners will be interested in. These digests are published onto LawNet.

Constitutional/Admin Law Publications: This team is in charge of all publications relating to constitutional and administrative law. Right now, the team is working on an Administrative law guidebook for layman to better understand the recourse they have to review executive decisions. We intend to publish this book with NLB and possibly host exhibitions to promote them.
