Overview

This 2-day course comprises 3 modules of in-person learning to arm the family lawyer with competencies to support their clients and stakeholders to achieve therapeutic justice. The course is developed by the Singapore Academy of Law in conjunction with the Singapore University of Social Sciences, and is  supported by a working group comprising Judicial Officers of the Family Justice Courts and senior family lawyers.

This programme was conceived to give members of the family bar an understanding of what it means to practise in a TJ oriented landscape and the important role of the family lawyer in this connection.

Learners can look forward to:

• Understanding therapeutic justice in the context of family justice and family lawyering from a social science perspective. 
• Examining the benefits, aims and distinguishing features of therapeutic justice.
• Examining how therapeutic justice is operational within the family justice system in terms of the policies and court procedures (ie hardware) and the roles of the legal actors (ie software).
• Examining and applying the interpersonal skills required for employing and sustaining a collaborative, therapeutic justice approach to family practice.
