The Judicial System of Singapore is based on English common law and operates independently from the executive and legislative branches. It consists of various levels of courts, including the Supreme Court, which is the highest court, and the State Courts, which handle most criminal and civil cases. Judges in Singapore are appointed by the President and are known for their integrity and impartiality. The system emphasizes efficiency and accessibility, with measures in place to resolve disputes quickly. Additionally, alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, are encouraged to reduce the burden on the courts.
