6 Sing. L. Rev. ix (1985)

handle is hein.journals/singlrev6 and id is 1 raw text is: L4toria( Since the revival of the Singapore Law Review in 1983, we have striven to establish it as a forum of discussion amongst students. The Feature Section, the yearly Interview and the Tribute have become regular features of the Review and we hope that they will continue to be used as catalysts in promoting interest in local legal issues and personalities. This year, the Review has gone one step further. Because of the lamentable absence of the tradition of public lecturing in Singapore, we felt it opportune to organise an annual lecture series. The Hon Mr Justice Punch Coomaraswamy inaugurated the Singapore Law Review Lecture Seres when he spoke on The Perils of Drafting in November 1984. Besides the lecture, the Editorial Board is also pleased to announce the introduction of the Singapore Law Review Prize. Due to the generosity of our well-wishers, a S$200.00 cash prize will be awarded yearly for the best contribu- tion from any matriculated student of the National University of Singapore. We hope that this will provide some incentive (hopefully not the sole incentive) for more students to make their contributions to the Review. In our Feature Section, we concentrate on the Family in Singapore. the rapid changes in our social structure brought toll on the institution of the family and our concern centres round the administration of family law in Singapore as well as the new technology that threatens to eradicate our traditional concept of the family. In Conversation features Prof Geoffrey Bartholomew, a former lecturer and Dean of our faculty whose writings on the Singapore Legal System have become essential reading for any student of the local legal system and history. Finally, in our Tribute, we pay homage to the late Mr A V Winslow, former Solicitor General and one of our most respected judges. Much hard work hasbeen put into this Review;some have sacrificed much of their vacations working on it; rewarded only by the satisfaction that the Review has fulfilled its role. However, we cannot just depend on a few people and expect them to carry on indefinitely - the time has come for us all, as responsible members of the student body to take up our cudgels and pitch in. This is the only way we can ensure continuity for the Review. It is a continuity with a purpose, a continuity of our legal conscience. The Editors
