November Person of the Month - Tan Jia Shen

​About this segment: Person of the Month is an initiative by the University of Malaya Law Review which aims to feature a prominent member of the University of Malaya’s Law Faculty towards the end of each month. The purpose of this segment is twofold. Firstly, to give due recognition to the contributions of our student leaders and secondly, so that their achievements might inspire other members of the Faculty towards greater success.

​Tan Jia Shen is a final-year student of the Faculty of Law, University of Malaya (UM). A friendly face in the Faculty known to most as Jia Shen, his burning passion and brilliance in the mooting courts have preceded his reputation amongst students as one of the prominent mooters the Faculty has to offer. Fuelled by his multidisciplinary approach in understanding the inequalities that plague marginalised communities, Jia Shen also resolved himself in exploring different platforms to fully maximise his voice as a law student. However, perhaps the most remarkable qualities that Jia Shen has are his modesty and altruistic spirit. His repute of kindness extends to sharing advice and company with peers and juniors alike, showcasing his ability to remain grounded amidst his accolades.
