About LAW@CDC 2026

The Law Awareness Weeks @ CDC 2026 (LAW@CDC 2026) is a collaboration between the five Community Development Councils, Pro Bono SG, National University of Singapore Faculty of Law, Singapore Management University School of Law, Singapore University of Social Sciences School of Law, and the Singapore Corporate Counsel Association Pro Bono Chapter, supported by the People’s Association. The Ministry of Law also joins the LAW@CDC partnership from this year.

LAW@CDC 2026 is a nationwide effort to promote awareness and understanding of the law in the community through a series of talks, so that people living and working in Singapore may know their rights and be empowered when faced with common legal issues. This year, there will be 15 law awareness webinars aired ‘live’ online from 5 October - 5 November 2026. There will also be a series of in-person legal talks happening in the community.

In conjunction with SGLaw200, this year’s LAW@CDC campaign invites everyone to learn how the law helps us build stronger, safer, and more supportive communities. The theme “200 Years of Law in Singapore: What It Means For You” brings together a series of free public webinars that explore everyday legal issues and empower you to take informed action — for yourself and those around you.

Join us to pick up practical legal knowledge, ask questions, and become a more connected, contributing, and caring member of your community.

Our moderators together with our panelists, will discuss on the respective topics. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and clarify any doubts they may have on the law relating to the topics.  Catered to audiences with no legal background, the legal talks aim to simplify legal jargon and explain the law as it applies to the man on the street as well as how they can see recourse in order to heal the relationships that they are in.
