With this vision in mind, SILA organises several events annually. These range from dialogues to networking sessions. They provide aspiring student-lawyers with invaluable opportunities to forge connections with professionals. In close collaboration with ILA Singapore, SILA also publishes student-authored articles on various issues of international law in ILA Singapore’s official quarterly newsletters.
