This book is a compendium of principal papers and commentary papers which were presented at the 15th Biennial Conference of Chief Justices of Asia and the Pacific which was held in Singapore. The focus of this Conference was on the search for ways to achieve the establishment of the core values of an effective judiciary, such as integrity, independence, transparency and securing access to justice, as well as the role of the Judiciary in supporting the growth of transnational commerce. These five core values became the tenets of this Conference upon which each session was based. Core Values of an Effective Judiciary pays tribute to the contributions of the speakers and is a record of the discussions and the diverse viewpoints and experiences that were shared on various judicial issues during the Conference.Author(s)/Editor(s)/Contributor(s): Local and foreign Chief Justices and Senior Judges

Authored by practitioners and a senior assistant registrar, with input from litigation practitioners, judicial officers and law academics, this guide is lighthearted yet serious in import. It offers sound counsel on proper etiquette outside and within a courtroom, encompassing a wide range of situations with instructive illustrations and examples. Especially useful is the table of words, phrases and modes of address which provides sample terms and expressions of common courtesy and respect which should be accorded to fellow members of the legal fraternity. Suitable for both junior and seasoned practitioners, the book provides invaluable guidance on conduct becoming of a member of a noble and honourable profession.Author(s)/Editor(s)/Contributor(s): Vinodh Coomaraswamy SC, Stanley Lai SC, Adrian Tan, Teh Hwee Hwee, Anand Nalachandran.

In collaboration with the Singapore Judicial College and Academy Publishing, this is the first bench series in Singapore featuring the philosophy which drives the pedagogy of the Singapore Judicial College – first, to have judges teaching judges; and second, delivering judicial education that is relevant in the judicial context.
Fact-Finding and Reality may well be the very first attempt to examine important aspects of judicial decision-making, reasoning and fact-finding from the lens of a serving Singapore judge. The discussion links to how judges evaluate evidence and assess the credibility of witnesses, distilling and synthesising established theories from a corpus of literature on the subject and contextualising them using Singapore cases. An invaluable bench guide, this monograph is a must-read for all judges in Singapore, especially those newly appointed to the bench.
