Women and the Judiciary in the Asia-Pacific
Courts can play an important role in addressing issues of inequality, discrimination and gender injustice for women.The feminisation of the judiciary – both in its thin meaning of women's entrance into the profession, as well as its thicker forms of realising gender justice – is a core part of the agenda for gender equality.This volume acknowledges both the diversity of meanings of the feminisation of the judiciary, as well as the complexity of the social and cultural realisation of gender equality.Containing original empirical studies, this book demonstrates the past and present challenges women face to entering the judiciary and progressing their career, as well as when and why they advocate for women's issues while on the bench.From stories of pioneering women to sector-wide institutional studies of the gender composition of the judiciary, this book reflects on the feminisation of the judiciary in the Asia-Pacific.

Women, Judging and the Judiciary : From Difference to Diversity
Women, Judging and the Judiciary examines debates about gender representation in the judiciary and the importance of judicial diversity.It offers a fresh look at the role of the (woman) judge and the process of judging and provides a new analysis of the assumptions which underpin and constrain debates about why we might want a more diverse judiciary, and how we might get one.Through a theoretical engagement with the concepts of diversity and difference in adjudication, Women, Judging and the Judiciary contends that prevailing images of the judge are enmeshed in notions of sameness and uniformity: images which are so familiar that their grip on our understandings of the judicial role are routinely overlooked.Failing to confront these instinctive images of the judge and of judging, however, comes at a price.They exclude those who do not fit this mould, setting them up as challengers to the judicial norm.Such has been the fate of the woman judge. But while this goes some way to explaining why, despite repeated efforts, our attempts to secure greater diversity in our judiciary have fallen short, it also points a way forward.For, by getting a clearer sense of what our judges really do and how they do it, we can see that women judges and judicial diversity more broadly do not threaten but rather enrich the judiciary and judicial decision-making.As such, the standard opponent to measures to increase judicial diversity – the necessity of appointment on merit – is in fact its greatest ally: a judiciary is stronger and the justice it dispenses better the greater the diversity of its members, so if we want the best judiciary we can get, we should want one which is fully diverse. Women, Judging and the Judiciary will be of interest to legal academics, lawyers and policy makers working in the fields of judicial diversity, gender and adjudication and, more broadly, to anyone interested in who our judges are and what they do.

Is the judiciary the police?
No, the judiciary is not the police. The judiciary is the branch of government responsible for interpreting and applying the law, while the police are responsible for enforcing the law and maintaining public order. The judiciary is made up of judges and courts, which hear and decide legal disputes, while the police are law enforcement officers who investigate crimes, make arrests, and ensure public safety. While both the judiciary and the police play important roles in the legal system, they have distinct functions and responsibilities.
-
How democratic should the judiciary be?
The judiciary should be democratic to the extent that it upholds the principles of fairness, impartiality, and the rule of law. It should be independent from political influence and be accountable to the people. However, it should also be insulated from direct democratic pressures to ensure that it can make decisions based on legal principles and not popular opinion. A balance must be struck to ensure that the judiciary remains fair and impartial while also being accountable to the public.

The executive is the branch of government responsible for implementing and enforcing laws, as well as managing the day-to-day operations of the government. The legislative branch is responsible for making laws, which involves proposing, debating, and passing legislation that will govern the country.

Transnational Mortgage Law : Reconstructing the Global Framework for Housing Finance
This book uncovers and reconstructs the growing body of legal principles and rules governing mortgages that have been developed by different transnational institutions and actors. It shows how mortgages have evolved from a type of real security commonly used to facilitate lending by mitigating credit risk, to a transferable commodity with the potential to affect international financial stability and consumer welfare.In doing so, the book reveals the emergence of new policy objectives and rationales for regulation that have led to changes in the structure and functions of mortgage laws.Characterising this development as a type of transnational law, the book highlights the paradigm shifts in the law of residential mortgages brought about by their increasing global relevance.The analysis reveals tensions between the goals of risk mitigation, financial stability, consumer protection and housing justice. The result is an innovative analysis at the intersection of contract law, property law and international financial regulation.The book portrays transnational mortgage law as a complex field governed by a plurality of socially and economically relevant but potentially conflicting goals and principles.

Why is the registered mortgage important for a loan rather than the value of the property?
A registered mortgage is important for a loan because it provides the lender with a legal claim on the property in case the borrower defaults on the loan. This gives the lender a level of security and assurance that they will be able to recover their money by selling the property. The value of the property can fluctuate over time, so having a registered mortgage ensures that the lender's interests are protected regardless of changes in property value.

Why is the registered mortgage important for a loan, rather than the value of the property?
The registered mortgage is important for a loan because it serves as a legal guarantee for the lender that they have a claim on the property in case the borrower defaults on the loan. This provides security to the lender and reduces the risk associated with lending money. The value of the property is important for determining the loan amount and the terms of the loan, but the registered mortgage ensures that the lender has a legal right to the property in case of non-payment.
