A total of 25 participants from 18 jurisdictions converged in Singapore from 4 to 8 July 2022 to attend the Singapore Cooperation Programme (SCP) on ‘Technology and Courts of the Future’, conducted by the Singapore Judicial College (SJC). Adopting a unique ‘show-tell-experience’ pedagogy, the programme co-created a space to tap on the collective wisdom of the participants in envisioning and strategising for the courts of the future with technology as an enabler.
The inaugural run of the SJC’s Judicial Executive Programme (JEP) for current and future judicial leaders was held in Singapore from 14 November to 2 December 2022. A rigorous, high-level leadership development programme, it was attended by 12 international participants from nine countries. In the first week, participants received expert instruction from faculty at the Singapore Management University in five focus areas, which was contextualised in the second week by judge and industry faculty, with an optional judicial attachment for the third week.
The SJC conducted the first physical programme after in-person SCP programmes resumed, targeting mid- to senior-level court and government officials from all over the world.
Hosted by the National Judicial Institute of Canada, the International Organization for Judicial Training (IOJT) Conference took place in Ottawa from 30 October to 3 November 2022. The SJC’s Executive Director, District Judge Paul Quan, who is also a member of the IOJT Board of Executives, was invited to showcase the SJC’s unique use of judicial education technology for the delivery of online instruction.
