| Summary/Abstract |
Man has always lived, and its still living, under two parallel social control mechanism - religion and law - and guidance for all aspects of human life is found in one or the other of these, often in both. Both are equally significant. Paradigmatic precepts teaching people how to live together in peace and harmony despite their different religious affiliations are found both in the age-old faith traditions and the national and international laws of time. I will briefly sample here relevant provisions of both but, being a law-man ignoramus in matters of religion, will begin with law.

| Summary/Abstract |
The primary purpose of law is to provide security. While national laws, or municipal laws as they are called, have evolved in content and sophistication to aspire to cover a wider gamut of human life such as social and economic development, international law has struggled to keep pace. Despite an explosion in laws regulating various aspects of international affairs, maintaining peace and security remains its primary and most challenging preoccupation. This paper deals with dispute settlement mechanisms and India-Pakistan disputes.

| Summary/Abstract |
In 2011 and 2012, the Supreme People's Court (SPC) published its first "guiding cases." Guiding cases serve as decision-making models that must be taken into account by lower courts when deciding similar cases. This study argues that the establishment of a national formal legal mechanism to improve consistency in adjudication across jurisdictions and geographical boundaries will strengthen judicial professionalism. The guiding cases system provides the SPC with an instrument to steer adjudication in lower courts discreetly, thereby allowing it to exercise significant influence over legal developments. Given the complexity of cases, compared to law set out in statute, non-lawyers may have tremendous difficulty in understanding and assessing the effects of guiding cases; this in turn acts as a protective mechanism against extra-legal interference. The reform is an example of the SPC's delicate manoeuvring in order to retain judicial professionalism in a hostile yet politically conservative environment. It reflects an attempt by the SPC to strengthen its position vis-à-vis other actors of the party-state and to consolidate the judiciary's function as an adjudicative institution that works on the basis of formal legal mechanisms.
