On 26 August 2026, Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon delivered the keynote address at the 10th anniversary of the Asian Business Law Institute (ABLI).

Established in 2016, ABLI was built to be Asian in focus, polycentric in method, and practice-oriented in approach bringing together judges, governments, practitioners, businesses, academics and international organisations to advance legal convergence across the region.

A decade on, that vision remains as relevant as ever. As trade and investment within Asia deepen, ABLI continues to serve as a neutral platform to study legal diversity, identify common ground, and reduce friction that can impede regional integration.

Looking ahead, Chief Justice Menon highlighted ABLI's strong positioning to tackle emerging cross-border legal challenges including the rapid rise of AI in commercial life, which raises novel questions across corporate law, contract and data governance. ABLI's comparative and practice-oriented approach makes it well-placed to bring together the full range of voices needed to address them.

At the Judges' Colloquium organised by the Kenya Judiciary Academy on 24 Aug 2026, Justice Kwek Mean Luck shared that the answer rests on four pillars: independence and accountability, active case management, technology, and people.

But perhaps the most compelling insight was this - judges are not merely arbiters of individual disputes. They sit at an intersection well placed to drive judicial reform. Systemic justice isn't an add-on to judicial office. It's what's required.

What if legal documents came with a summary?

That's exactly the idea behind a new AI-powered tool introduced by SG Courts to help people representing themselves in the Small Claims Tribunals better understand their case documents.

Sometimes, making justice more accessible starts with making it easier to understand.
