A meaningful afternoon of conversation and encouragement for our SMU mooting teams ⚖️
We were pleased to welcome Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Law & Ministry of Social and Family Development, Eric Chua, to SMU Yong Pung How School of Law, where he met with two of our sports law mooting teams — facilitated by Goh Chui Ling and Visiting Professor Björn Hessert.
The session brought together students from SMU’s most recent world champion team at the Sports Law Arbitration Moot (SLAM), alongside the team set to represent SMU at the upcoming Sports Arbitration Moot in Madrid on 22 May.
A key reminder from the discussion: while AI can support the process, sound judgment, preparation and critical thinking remain essential to developing future-ready legal professionals.
Thank you, SPS Eric Chua, for taking the time to meet with and encourage our students. We wish our mooting teams all the very best as they prepare to represent SMU on the global stage.
