The Role of the Courts in Our Society – Safeguarding Society

Justice Ramesh and Ms Patricia Redmond

Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon gave the opening address for our first Conversation with the Community held at the Singapore Management University’s Yong Pung How School of Law. He said that the role of the courts will continue to be, to exercise “judgment” – as opposed to “force” or “will”. But the role cannot be limited to a purely adjudicative setting. To effectively navigate the challenges that confront our societies, the courts have a special responsibility for protecting the core values of those systems and ensuring that robust mechanisms are in place for the delivery of justice to all.
