Abstract:
This article examines the evolution of judicial education in Singapore on the occasion of the Singapore Judicial College’s (“SJC”) 10th Anniversary. It offers insights into Singapore’s approach to judicial education and its potential implications for judiciaries worldwide. It begins by contextualising Singapore’s experience within the international judicial education landscape, including the global trend from a decentralised approach to the current centralised and professionalised structure. The authors then explore key developments and milestones throughout the SJC’s first decade, highlighting its transformative impact on judicial training in Singapore, the region and beyond. Against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world fraught with challenges for judiciaries worldwide, the article proposes nine strategic focus areas for the SJC’s future development, thus contributing to the broader discourse on the advancement of judicial education in strengthening judiciaries.
