Marites Danguilan Vitug has another book out about the Philippine Supreme Court, this time about some of the court's most progressive and hopeful cases. Asia Sentinel has a review here. I haven't read the book yet, but have placed my order. I'll be sure to report on it once I finish.*
* Incidentally, my book review of Vitug's Shadow of Doubt has been accepted for publication, but the journal hasn't published it yet, so I can't share it until they do.
Critics agree that much of Southeast Asia desperately needs judicial reform and rule of law. Yet, there is remarkably little comparative scholarship on law and legal institutions in the region. In this blog, I'll follow constitutional developments in Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
