Ignorantia Juris Non Excusat

​

The role of legal education, awareness and knowledge cannot be over-estimated in society; especially one that is democratic. Every citizen must be aware of the law for the creation of legally aware and law-abiding citizens.

​

The Academic and Research Division is an initiative by the Barristers' Syndicate for the purpose of spreading legal knowledge and awareness. With this division, The Syndicate intends to provide a platform for legal knowledge, experience, study, observation and more, to ultimately achieve The Syndicate's academic and educational endeavours. The division will be run autonomously.

​

 The Objectives of the A.R.D 

• To promote legal awareness, education and knowledge among citizens

• To provide law students with a platform to enhance their legal skills, knowledge, experience and thinking

• To create legally aware and law-abiding citizens

• To encourage students to enhance, enrich and broaden their skills and experience

• To facilitate experiential, practical and hands-on learning experiences for law students

• To promote the creation of a legal community that promotes the importance of legal awareness and knowledge

 

 The Functions of A.R.D ​

The A.R.D will be divided into three major heads:

• Academics and Events: which would host all events, programs and competitions

• Research and Publication: which currently hosts an official blog: The Barristers' Insight wherein legal articles, case comments and other legal information would be posted

• Corporate Programs: which intends to educate corporate individuals and companies on areas of legal concern, knowledge and awareness
