Saif holding his team’s most prized possessions: two international memorial prize awards in the Philip C. Jessup Moot Court Competition 2015, Washington DC.
Saifullah Qamar, or commonly known as Saif, is one of the most accomplished mooters in the University of Malaya Law Faculty. Well-known for his mooting achievements and academic excellence, he was part of the UM teams which successfully brought our faculty to great heights in the mooting world, such as winning the Novice Arbitration Mooting Competition (NAMCO) in 2014, the national rounds of the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition two years in a row in 2015 and 2016, as well as the Asia Cup International Law Moot Court Competition 2015. When asked about his proudest moments, he cited two milestones; the first is when the UM team he was a part of in 2015 successfully ranked as one of the Top 32 teams in the world in the international rounds of Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition, the most prestigious mooting competition in the world, when his team represented Malaysia in the international rounds in Washington DC, United States. The second, was when he was part of the UM team which made its debut participation in the Asia Cup International Law Moot Court Competition 2015 held in Tokyo. He was filled with joy when the team was announced the Asia Cup Champion, establishing University of Malaya as one of the most formidable mooting powerhouses in the region.

One of the funniest, punniest and friendliest faces in the faculty, Long Mohd Noor Adman (commonly known as Long) was the Director of UM Moot Club for the academic year of 2015/16. Currently a final year law student, Long plays an active role in the faculty and has contributed to many projects such as the Orientation Week Committee, UM Mock Trial, and ALSA UM Tie-riffic Run among others. However, his potent feature remains to be his wit and optimism which largely contributed to the success of the UM Moot Club during his tenure.

Hanani Rahman was the President of the University of Malaya Law Society for the academic year of 2015/2016. A familiar face around the faculty, she is mostly known as a highly capable individual who is a veteran in a myriad of activities and has contributed significantly towards the university. Although she is very active and has been involved in a wide range of diverse activities, both in the Faculty, such as having served on the committee of UM Mock Trial, ALSA’s Student Exchange Programme, ALSA’s UM National Forum and the Orientation Week Committee, and outside Faculty, such as having hosted events such as Malam Senior Junior, Frenster and Malam Apresiasi Gemilang for the 12th College, she was most committed to the University of Malaya Law Society. Human Rights Conference 2016, one of ALSA UM's many brainchild under Hui Yi's leadership
Hui Yi, or better known as Caitlin, was the President of the University of Malaya chapter of Asian Law Students’ Association (ALSA) for the academic year of 2015/2016. Her tenure has been a glorious success as it was the first time ALSA UM organized the ALSA UM Symposium(AUS) 2016 during the annual Student Exchange Program in November 2015. The theme of AUS 2016 was “Future Lawyer in Asia Region.” Amongst the programs organized were a talk on “Liberalization of Legal Services in Asia,” a forum on “Young Lawyers in Globalized World” and a full day program on arbitration. It aimed to provide law students with the opportunity to have better exposure to legal practices in other Asia regions, internship, and exchange opportunities. Mr. Kalaivaanan Murty
Kalaivaanan Murty is a current final year law student from the Law Faculty of University of Malaya who was a two-term Student Council Representative for the law faculty (2014/2015) & (2015/2016), President of the Tamil Language Society of University of Malaya (2015/16) and an active student activist who was involved in the Solidarity4AzmiSharom movement, Penang Youth Parliament, University of Malaya Humanitarian Squad, and our faculty's very own Legal Aid Clinic. A prominent figure in the law faculty, almost every student in the faculty has heard of his contributions towards the students' welfare. He is not only bright, friendly, passionate and lively; he is also determined, vocal and a visionary who is known for his zeal always to go the distance for what he believes is right. “…it is still surreal that despite not having a coach or any pre-existing basic knowledge in Competition Law, our team managed to pull through these odds and emerged as champions of the Competition!” – Sharon Jessy
