This seminar explores the relationship between law, governance and morality in the justice system as well as law enforcement in Malaysia. The thesis, that law should only derive its legitimacy from legally institutionalized procedures and not moral ethos of society is held dear by some jurists. Yet this thesis has resulted in degradation of values and qualities that is essential in creating and sustaining human civilization. Thus this conference offers an apt and timely discourse to reflect on the need to relate law and morality in the key institutions of the justice system viz. the Judiciary and enforcement agencies in Malaysia such as the Police Force and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.
