Clean sweep at Asia Cup Moot

In a triumphant return after six years to the Asia Cup Moot Court competition, NUS Law swept the top awards, winning Best Overall Team, Best Memorial and Best Oralist. This is the third time a team has achieved such a feat since the competition began 19 years ago.

The NUS team, comprising Kiu Yan Yu, Dana Chang, Ephraim Tan, Ong Chee Yeow and Charlotte Wang, had earlier competed against Singapore Management University for the honour of representing Singapore on the international stage. They then competed against teams from the University of Tokyo and the West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences from India in the preliminary rounds, before facing Ateneo Law School from the Philippines — the most successful law school in the history of the competition — in the finals. It was sweet victory for the NUS Law team, especially since their last win was in 2005. Dana Chang was awarded Best Oralist in the competition.
