The Judiciary - comprising the Supreme Court, State Courts and Family Justice Courts - is one of the three constitutional pillars of government in Singapore. Known collectively as SG Courts, we are integrated and coordinated to serve as one judiciary. As an organ of state, the Judiciary’s function is to independently administer justice. Headed by the Chief Justice, we are a forward looking, innovative and trusted judiciary. Built on judicial professionalism and transparency, we maintain the highest standards of integrity in safeguarding our community. We pledge to ensure equal and continuous access to justice, and we are committed to deliver justice that is fair and impartial.
A career in SG Courts will enable you to enhance the corporate reputation of the Courts through fostering better public awareness and understanding of the Court’s policies and vision of inspiring public trust and confidence in providing an effective and accessible justice system.
