- 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.

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
