Bicentennial Celebration Week (24 – 27 November 2026)
If you are registering for the JDR Workshop, you may also wish to extend your stay in Singapore to join us in the Bicentennial Celebration Week (24 – 27 November 2026). The Singapore Courts will mark a historic bicentennial this year, celebrating two centuries of upholding the rule of law since the landmark Second Charter of Justice of 1826.
The celebrations will culminate in November 2026 with a Bicentennial Celebration Week, comprising a Global Rule of Law Conference (24 – 26 November), a Gala Dinner with the launch of a commemorative publication on the Singapore Judiciary's history (26 November), and a historic Formal Sitting of the Supreme Court attended by foreign Chief Justices and judicial representatives from around the world (27 November).
