Singapore Singapore Corporate Counsel Association Full time

We invite you to consider a career as a JUDICIAL SERVICE OFFICER in the SINGAPORE JUDICIAL SERVICE and to be initially deployed to the Syariah Court.
Established in 1958 under the Administration of Muslim Law Act 1966 (AMLA), the Syariah Court (“SYC”) determines disputes relating to Muslim marriage and divorce, and issues inheritance certificates for Muslim estates.
The mission of SYC is to (i) save and salvage marriages, (ii) settle divorces amicably, and (iii) deliver just outcomes.
Beyond adjudication, SYC is committed to the broader objective of strengthening Muslim families. Even when a marriage ends, SYC strives to ensure that family relationships are preserved, and the welfare of children is protected. Recognising that the resolution of family disputes requires a multi-disciplinary collaborative effort, SYC works closely with the legal, social science and religious fraternities. To this end, SYC has been driving legal education, public education, community outreach and stakeholder engagement initiatives pertaining to the administration of Muslim family law in Singapore.
With its recent transformation efforts, including digitalisation and court reforms such as the establishment of a court counselling framework, SYC offers a challenging yet fulfilling experience for those with the passion and drive to serve Muslim families.
As a Judicial Service Officer deployed to the SYC, you will carry out and exercise the statutory functions, powers and duties under the AMLA and the Muslim Marriage and Divorce Rules (MMDR) and hear and determine proceedings in accordance with the AMLA.
