In this issue, we 'Focus' on the theme of 'Litigation & Advocacy'. We have an article by a 'seasoned' advocate, which offers us the simple and 'truthful' perspective on the art of advocacy. The next article looks to the future with the development of the Supreme Court of Singapore from paper and filing cabinets to today's e-courts; it would seem that the e-litigation era has descended upon the legal arena! The 'Litigation & Advocacy' theme is concluded by an engaging article on the need for lawyers to read novels to hone one's advocacy skills.

In the 'Features' section, we have an article reviewing the law on passing off following the recent decision made by the High Court in the case of Momentum Creations Pte Ltd v Tan Eng Koon t/a De Angeli. Next, the oratory skills of lawyers and jurists alike are accurately captured by the entertaining article, 'Words & Wisdom'. The final article explains the need for lawyers to engage a forensic accountant to aid them in their pursuit of evidence.

Last but not least, we would like to remind our readers that we would like to hear from you. The existence of a 'Forum' page is dependent upon your contributions and comments on any aspect of your work-related experiences. Please direct all letters to:
