Are you curious to know more about Singapore 's legal system?

Glad to inform that there will be an excellent opportunity for us to do so, and whats more, we can bring our families and friends along to have an informative and exciting 'day in court' without being sued, summoned or subpoenaed!

This March, the Supreme Court of Singapore will be opening its doors to visitors over the weekend in an event named ‘The Living Courthouse’. Over the weekend of 14 - 15 March 2009, enactments of court hearings, interactive activities and exhibitions will bring the work and operations of the Supreme Court to life so visitors can participate, have fun, experience its proceedings and have their 'day in court' actually being involved in a court proceeding.

'The Living Courthouse' will focus primarily on demystifying the work of the Supreme Court, educate the public about the current operations of the courts, and how aspects of our work may impact them. Some highlights of the event include enactments of civil and criminal proceedings, exploratory tours around the building, legal talks (in partnership with the Subordinate Courts, SAL, IPTO, LAB and ACRA) as well as legal clinics (in partnership with the Law Society of Singapore). Visitors to 'The Living Courthouse' can also learn more about Singapore 's legal system through learning activities such as the 'Justice Trail' as well as view exhibitions showcasing common stereotypes about the courts and the law and our legal heritage. The programme lineup for the event promises to be fun-filled and informative, with activities suited for all ages.

The publicity e-flyer for 'The Living Courthouse' is attached for your information.

Admission is free.
