SINGAPORE: Members of Singapore's legal fraternity on Sunday paid tribute to the late law professor Tan Yock Lin, describing the 70-year-old as a learned mentor always generous with his time for others.
“He was not just a dedicated colleague but also a mentor, especially to those starting out on their careers. He gave of his time to others cheerfully and without reservation. Yock Lin will be sorely missed.”He served on the Singapore Academy of Law’s Law Reform Committee, said NUS in a previous news release, adding that he was awarded a Public Service Medal for his work on the committee.
“He taught and wrote on multiple areas of law, from evidence and criminal law to constitutional and administrative law to professional discipline to equity and trusts and personal property law. And he was happy to teach whatever the faculty required. Because he had the intellectual wherewithal to master any new area and teach and rationalise it."
