I greatly enjoy my lessons, as well as talking with fellow students outside of the classroom. Law is interesting in that it reflects life, and furthermore, affects what is important to people.

Law school is a window to far greater things in terms of your aspirations. It develops skills that are easily translatable to diplomacy, politics and even business. It equips you with the tools to effect social change and political change, and to be intellectually curious about anything.

The Innocence Project is a project of the NUS Criminal Justice Club, which is a sub-club of the NUS Law Club. The aim of the project is to address wrongful conviction and create awareness of relevant issues in the criminal justice system. The team identifies possible cases of wrongful conviction and acts to have worthy cases brought up in court. The project works closely with the Law Society and the Attorney-General's Chambers, while maintaining its independence.

I have been involved in the Innocence Project since my first year at NUS Law, and took over as project lead when I was in my second year. When I graduate, a new head will be appointed, though I will continue as an advisor to the team.

This programme is a unique experience and amazing learning opportunity, especially in terms of strategizing, negotiating and dealing with different kinds of people.

During my year in Italy, I immersed myself in the local community, and learnt to speak the language. I chose not to travel around Europe, and instead picked up a new sport, spending the weekends going to races with my cycling club.

My experience was very multicultural. I really valued meeting people of different social backgrounds from the people I know in Singapore.

After graduation, I plan to join a law firm where I hope to get a chance to practise criminal law.

In the future, I plan to set up a social enterprise law firm with friends from “Students swimming upstream”, an informal student group that discusses how to promote interest in social justice. The goal of this firm would be to fund cases that can help bring about positive social change.
