The Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) is a promotion and development agency for Singapore’s legal industry. It is a body set up by statute. SAL is led by a Senate headed by Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon, and comprising the Attorney-General, the Supreme Court Bench and key leaders of the various branches of the legal profession. SAL works with our stakeholders from the Bench, Bar, Academia and Industry to set new precedents of excellence in Singapore law through developing thought leadership, world class infrastructure and legal solutions. SAL’s initiatives cover the full spectrum from Singapore Law Watch (a digital legal news daily) to Lawnet (a legal knowledge and research platform). Our legal publishing portfolio and and legal education programmes actively initiate and support thought leadership and sustained engagement with the law of technology and the technology of law. Current initiatives by SAL on the technology of law front include the Legal Technology Vision, the Future Law Innovation Programme and the LIFTED Technology Framework.
