JTJB and Doshisha
University of Kyoto, Japan, have reached agreement
by which law students from the highly acclaimed
university will have the option of attending an
internship program at the firm's Singapore head
office.
Dato' Jude P
Benny kicked off the program by delivering a
lecture to the law students on "Contractual
Interpretation" on 29th June 2006, at the Kyoto
Campus. The lecture was well received by the
students.
Later in the day, Professor Koji Takahasi and
Dato' Benny sealed the agreement, which will see
the first student(s) arriving in Singapore in
September this year.
Dato Benny described the move as a "long term
investment" creating goodwill and contacts
between the firm and a "new generation of
Japanese lawyers, compelled to play in the
international arena". "It will also be a
culturally very enlightening experience for all
of us in the Singapore office". |
