Prevailing conditions of access to justice and due process in the Singapore courts are criticised through McBarnet’s two-tier lens and Carlen’s dramaturgical understandings of criminal court realities. More than an interest in the structural separation of the Singapore judiciary, the paper interrogates the dualism between the imagined workings of justice and the daily operational experience for users of the Singapore courts. The scene is set to understand ideologies of triviality and irrelevance and their impact on justice service delivery in subordinate courts where legal representation and offender participation are the exception. To speculate on novel influences of triviality and irrelevance through machine-learned automation, an audit of Singapore’s present-day court technologies and its increasingly digitised court processes and format is detailed in the second part. The administrative benefits of digitisation notwithstanding, the paper reasons that digitalisation motivated by convenience, cost-cutting and emergency exigencies presents additional dangers to justice access and due process delivery above those already at play. These further challenges are deciphered through considerations of how justice service delivery is depersonalised and routinised in disruptive digital models. Digitized justice suggests a new ‘two tiers’ duality between physical and virtual frames of service delivery and contestation. The ‘on-line’ screen shifts the theatre from the courtroom to the ‘zoom room’. This exploration of two tiers of justice and theatre of the courtroom re-imagined through digitisation offers the opportunity to appreciate and activate automated decision processes and data management as part of the solution, rather than conceding their exacerbation of the ‘injustice’ posed by this two tiers ideology and courtroom drama exclusionism.

通过麦克巴尼特的两层视角和卡伦对刑事法庭现实的戏剧性理解，对新加坡法院诉诸司法和正当程序的普遍条件进行了批评。本文不仅对新加坡司法机构的结构性分离感兴趣，还质疑了想象中的司法运作与新加坡法院用户的日常运作经验之间的二元性。该场景旨在了解琐碎和无关紧要的意识形态及其对下级法院司法服务提供的影响，在下级法院中，法律代表和罪犯参与是例外。为了通过机器学习的自动化推测琐碎和无关紧要的新影响，第二部分详细介绍了对新加坡当今法庭技术及其日益数字化的法庭流程和格式的审计。尽管数字化具有行政效益，但本文认为，出于便利性、成本削减和紧急情况而推动的数字化给司法救助和正当程序交付带来了超出现有风险的额外危险。这些进一步的挑战是通过考虑司法服务的提供如何在颠覆性的数字模型中非个性化和常规化来解读的。数字化司法表明，服务提供和争议的物理框架和虚拟框架之间存在新的“双层”二元性。 “在线”屏幕将剧院从法庭转移到“缩放室”。通过数字化重新想象的对两层司法和法庭剧场的探索提供了欣赏和激活自动化决策流程和数据管理作为解决方案一部分的机会，而不是承认它们加剧了这两层所造成的“不公正”层次意识形态和法庭戏剧排他主义。
