| Summary: | Amongst my first articles as a young legal academic was an essay on the problematic issue of stare decisis (or, in accordance with the mandate nowadays to use plain English, the doctrine of binding precedent) in the local context. It was published in a volume which revived the hitherto dormant Singapore Law Review (which, happily, has gone on from strength to strength ever since). This particular contribution was especially meaningful on a personal level because it was written at the end of my maiden year as a law tutor and, more importantly, fulfilled my desire to contribute in a tangible (albeit modest) way to the success of the re-launch of that particular journal, especially given the passion and enthusiasm of the editorial team. I was thenceforth a regular contributor to that particular journal over the years. Indeed, I am a great believer in encouraging students in their publication projects and such contributions are a tangible way of demonstrating such support. |
