Towards a New Theory of Adjudication: Integrating Theory and Practice

Andrew Phang

Andrew Phang is Senior Judge at the Supreme Court of Singapore and Distinguished Professor of Law, Yong Pung How School of Law, Singapore Management University.

This book explores the major theories of common law adjudication and presents a new theory of judicial adjudication.

It argues that the existing major theories of common law adjudication each capture only part of what occurs in actual court proceedings.

It presents a new theory of adjudication that not only incorporates both useful and modified elements of these theories but also integrates them with elements of virtue ethics as viewed from an adjudicative perspective (embodied within, amongst other things, the judicial oath of office).
