Abstract

This report compares the development of online legal education in Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam and Singapore, three quite closely linked Asian economies following the English common law tradition. Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, these countries all faced pressing needs to shift their legal education to mostly online modes. In Malaysia, where the health and economic consequences of the pandemic were the most salient, universities and institutions have been struggling to deliver online teaching due to the uneven allocation of internet resources among the large population scattered across large and sometimes remote areas. Being instead small but well-resourced states, Brunei and Singapore were well positioned to weather the global pandemic and adopt online legal education. In particular, Singapore is a leader of online legal education in ASEAN, thanks to its advanced ICT infrastructures and outstanding preparedness for online teaching. Both Brunei and Malaysia can learn from the success of Singapore, to become strong players in the field of online legal education.

马来西亚、文莱达鲁萨兰国和新加坡的在线法律教育特别报告

本报告比较了马来西亚、文莱达鲁萨兰国和新加坡这三个遵循英国普通法传统、联系紧密的亚洲经济体的在线法律教育发展。由于2020年初新冠肺炎疫情的爆发，这些国家都迫切需要将法律教育转向以网络为主的模式。在疫情对健康和经济造成的影响最为突出的马来西亚，大学和机构一直在努力提供在线教学，因为互联网资源在分散在大片地区，有时甚至是偏远地区的大量人口中分配不均。文莱和新加坡是小国，但资源丰富，它们有能力抵御全球疫情，并采用在线法律教育。特别是，新加坡是东盟在线法律教育的领导者，这得益于其先进的信息通信技术基础设施和出色的在线教学准备。文莱和马来西亚都可以借鉴新加坡的成功经验，成为在线法律教育领域的强手。
