Thai Law Forum Quote:
Thai Folklore and Legal Reasoning by Dr. Alexander Shytov. This article provides an insight into the relationship between moral and legal reasoning using Thai folk tales. These Thai folklores address the problems of legal formalism and mistakes in the evaluation of facts and adaptation of rules to those facts. The author aims to illustrate that legal decisions are inherently moral and that legal as well as moral reasoning always work hand-in-hand.
Moral Duty and Legal Obligation in Thai Folktales by Dr. Alexander Shytov. Although the conflict between moral and legal obligations is not explicit, legal obligations are often guided by moral ones. The author draws on Thai folktales to demonstrate that moral and legal obligations can be rather conflicting, and that the force of moral obligation makes pale shadows of other obligations such as legal obligations.
Abuse of Judicial Powers in Thai Folktales by Dr. Alexander Shytov. The author explains that for any dispute that takes place in a relationship, the court is the primary instrument used to determine the rights and responsibilities of this dispute. This article looks into the abuse of judicial power by a morally bad judge, and in contrast, a morally good judge who ensures that the law functions properly and according to its purpose.
Thai Folk Wisdom as a Challenge to Thai Law by Dr. Alexander Shytov. This article examines Thai folk wisdom in its relation to democracy and formal Thai law. The author aims to show that Thai folk wisdom could be an important aspect of the present political and legal state of Thailand.
