About: Law Conference 2024
Since 2019, the Singapore Introductory Mooting Program (“SIMP”) has been running annual moots with over 100 pre-university participants every year. For the first time in 2024, we hope to organise a “law day” in the form of a pre-university law conference, bringing about a more collaborative, rather than solely adversarial, spirit to law.
The inaugural 2024 Law Conference was held on the 20th of December, from 2 pm - 8 pm, and featured panel discussions, law research paper presentations, a moot demonstration, and a networking dinner.
The overarching theme for the inaugural Pre-University Law Conference was Medical Negligence.

To protect the environment, do you think that non-human beings such as animals, rainforests, should be given personhood in order to access rights granted to persons?
How is the law on informed consent defined in Singapore and do you think our approach is desirable, compared to the position within other common-law jurisdictions?
