About LAW@CDC 2025

The Law Awareness Weeks @ CDC 2025 (LAW@CDC 2025) is a collaboration between Pro Bono SG and the five Community Development Councils, National University of Singapore Faculty of Law, Singapore University of Social Sciences School of Law, Singapore Management University School of Law, the Singapore Association of Social Workers and the Singapore Corporate Counsel Association Pro Bono Chapter, supported by the People’s Association.

LAW@CDC 2025 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 22 September - 31 October 2025. There will also be a series of in-person legal talks happening in the community.

As Singapore marks SG60, this year’s LAW@CDC campaign invites everyone to learn how the law helps us build stronger, safer, and more supportive communities. The theme “Let’s Connect, Contribute and Care for our Community” 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.

Each topic is grouped under one of three themes:

• Connect – Learn how the law helps you build better relationships and resolve conflicts. Topics include:

  • Marriage & Divorce – Understanding Your Rights (Civil and Syariah Law)

  • Neighbours in Dispute – What Are My Legal Options?

  • Workplace Rights & Responsibilities

  • Legal Toolkit for Ground-Up Community Action

• Contribute – Understand how legal knowledge enables you to give back meaningfully. Topics include:

  • Social Media & the Law – Post with Prudence

  • Planning Ahead: Wills, LPAs & End-of-Life Matters (Civil and Syariah Law)

  • Cyber Hygiene – Know Your Rights & Responsibilities Online

  • Youth Offences & Bullying – Legal Guidance for Parents & Educators

• Care – Protect yourself and others with the law as your guide. Topics include:

  • Online Harassment – What You Can Do

  • Protect Yourself – How to Spot and Avoid Scams

  • Family Violence – Legal Protections & Support

  • Animal Welfare Laws – Caring for Our Companions

  • Invisible Disabilities & the Law – Know Your Protections

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 panellists, 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.
