Our team on the left, from L-R: Chua Wei Yuan, Carren Thung, Yeo Gek Min, Nicholas Liu, and Kenny Lau
Chua Wei Yuan, Kenny Lau, Nicholas Liu, Carren Thung, and Yeo Gek Min represented SMU in the 4th Jessup national round. This year’s problem canvassed a broad range of issues, such as transboundary harm and jurisdiction in the context of the law of the sea. After two gruelling rounds, the team successfully defended its national round title as well as the Best Oralist title (which went to Nicholas). The national round was judged by Attorney-General Steven Chong, Justice Judith Prakash, and Davinder Singh SC. The team was coached by Assistant Professor Chen Siyaun, who was assisted by SMU Jessup alumni Charles Li and Daniel Liu Zhaoxiang.
