Developing Our Capabilities

In March 2022, the SJC collaborated with PAVE, Singapore’s leading organisation in providing and developing integrated services against interpersonal violence, to enhance the capabilities of State Courts judges encountering parties who are subject to familial and partner violence.

Adopting a unique ‘knowledge-skills-experience’ pedagogy, this cross-disciplinary programme first equipped participants with foundational knowledge through asynchronous online modules, followed by skills-based coaching sessions. To cap off the programme, the participants shared their experiences on how sociological insights into familial and partner violence can enrich their perspectives on the bench.
