Abstract
The judiciary has played a substantial role in developing the mediation field in Singapore. In particular, the Subordinate Courts of Singapore was an early proponent of institutional mediation in the country and continues to be a major provider of mediation services through its judges and court staff. This paper considers the challenges and benefits of the current dominance of public sector provision of mediation. There will be a comparison of Singapore’s experience in the “halls of justice” with the US mediation scene. Our thesis is that the strengthening of the partnership between the courts and the other key players in the mediation scene, namely private sector providers, community groups and the academia, is critical to optimising the use of mediation and establishing a strong mediation culture in society.
