On a slightly unrelated note, the 25th Volume of the Singapore Law Review has been published. This volumes features entries from our SLR Writing Competition in 2007, a precursor of this year’s International Writing Symposium. You can find out more about that issue from this link.

Publication in the Singapore Law Review is a part of the prize offered for the best entries in the SLR Writing Symposium. Here’s wishing our participants good luck at this stage of their writing!

We have added one detail to the Rules and Regulations that we missed out earlier: Word count. Here’s the line added to para 18 of the rules and regulations: “Entries must be at least 4,000 words and at most 12,000 words in length. This word count excludes footnotes.” All versions of the R&R have been updated to reflect this change.

Thanks to James, Ken and Emmi for pointing this missing detail. Do contact us if you have any further queries or comments!

After months of hard work and preparation, the Singapore Law Review International Writing Symposium is now launched, starting with the first stage of the event, the submission of essays.

Deadline for submission is 10 July 2008, so don’t procrastinate! Start early and show the world your stuff! Read more

We have made a few more changes to the Rules and Regulations. All versions of the Rules on the website have been amended to reflect the changes. Do note that these changes, along with those in the earlier post, are not reflected in the publicity package sent out to schools.

Changelist

• Clarifications have been made to paras. 8 (”Recommendation”), para 23 (”Marking Criteria”) and para 24 (”Expenses for Foreign Participants”).
• A new paragraph 13 (”Participation”) has been added.
• A new paragraph 29 (”Judging criteria for symposium”) has been added.
• Some grammatical changes.

Although the Rules and Regulations have not been announced as official, we have made a few minor changes to the Rules and Regulations and all version present in this website have been amended. This change is not reflected in the version given in the publicity package sent to schools. Do take note.

Changelist:

• We have updated the rules and regulations to reflect that this website (http://iws.singaporelawreview.org) is the place where changes in rules and regulations takes place, not the Singapore Law Review’s website (http://www.singaporelawreview.org) .
• Some refinements in grammar.
