Abstract

In 2001, the Faculty of Law at the National University of Singapore embarked on a bold initiative to teach legal skills in a more determined and focused way than ever before in its L.L.B. Programme. This paper documents how the experience of teaching skills in the United States was adapted and re-created for Singapore. It describes the challenges and the responses fashioned to deal with intensive and interactive small group teaching, research and mooting. The paper calls for student and learning centeredness and a keen appreciation of their cultural and social assumptions.
