SINGAPORE — Yale Law School Professor Alec Stone Sweet will be joining the National University of Singapore’s (NUS) Faculty of Law in January 2016, the university announced yesterday.
He will also be the first Saw Swee Hock Centennial Professor in Law, a tenured full-time position at NUS Law. He is an internationally renowned professor of comparative constitutional law and comparative politics, said NUS.
“I have chosen to move to NUS because my future research will focus on Asian law and institutions, and NUS Law is clearly the most important law school in Asia,” said Prof Stone Sweet, who has been with Yale since 2004 and will be giving up his position there.
He added that Singapore’s growth as a “dispute resolution hub for Asia” is attractive to him.
“NUS Law hosts the Singapore International Mediation Institute (SIMI) and will allow me to watch closely the development of the newly launched Singapore International Commercial Court.” CHANNEL NEWSASIA
