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).

Myanmar Constitutional Tribunal website!
It's here - the Myanmar Constitutional Tribunal has a new website: http://www.ctmyanmar.org.mm/. Not only that, it has English versions of its 2011 cases as well. As of now, the site is only in Burmese, but an English translation is expected soon. I've read both of the 2011 cases and thought they were actually quite interesting and had surprisingly good legal reasoning, especially given the lack of any sort of constitutional jurisprudence in the country for the past 50 years. I'll write more about the cases at some point in the future - for now, enjoy the new website.
