C J Koh Professorship in Law

The C J Koh Professorship in Law was established in October 1996 with a gift of S$2 million from the late philanthropist and lawyer, Mr Koh Choon Joo, fondly known as Mr C J Koh.

The income generated from this professorship fund is used to engage eminent professors to co-operate in research and education with other faculty members and share their expertise and experience. They will bring their unique perspectives and insights to the legal education and to Singapore and its ever-growing regional and international role.
