Asean chief justices meeting starts

Chief justices from Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) member-countries arrived here yesterday for the 3rd Chief Justices Meeting.
The Philippine supreme court will “showcase our electronic trial court launched recently in Quezon City, among others,” said spokesperson Atty. Theodore Te.
Aside from Asean chief justices, Guam chief justice Robert Torres Jr. is also attending the conference, Te said.
Torres “will meet with the Philippine supreme court officials while the Asean Chief Justice Meeting is ongoing,” he said.
Vice presidents of Supreme Court from Thailand, Laos (Myanmar) and Cambodia represented their respective countries because their chief justices could not come due to prior commitments.
Regardless, “all 10 Asean countries were represented,” said Te.
Te said the Asean chief justices will tackle sharing of information, best practices and other related topics./
