The project seeks to understand the extent to which religion can enable or disenable the integration of migrant and nonmigrant communities from different religious traditions. Through such an understanding, the project hopes to identify the extent to which new religious pluralisms exist in Singapore, how they manifest across different religious groups, and the strategies deployed by different religious groups to manage them.
This research aims to determine if mediated settlements for family cases are more durable than those that were litigated or uncontested, by examining data on how frequently parties return to court to seek variation of orders or new orders. The research will also examine factors that may affect the durability of settlements, with the aim to contribute towards the shaping of effective court policy concerning mediation in family cases.
As part of an ongoing research collaboration between SMU and the Singapore Academy of Law’s Future Law Innovation Programme, this research project aims to chart the state of legal innovation in Asia-Pacific, examine where Singapore lies on the chart, and communicate Singapore’s legal innovation efforts to the world. This would benefit legal technology efforts in Singapore as well as the legal industry in general through raising the Singapore’s profile as a legal innovation hub.
This project explores dispute settlement avenues for ASEAN-related projects and transactions falling within the ambit of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), with the aim of providing constructive and practical suggestions potentially relating to the roles of mediation, arbitration and courts in resolving BRI disputes in ASEAN.
