CJ Archie to speak in Australia

The biennial conference brings together judges, lawyers, legal professionals and academics throughout the Commonwealth to discuss current trends and issues affecting the administration of justice and legal practice.

The chief justice was invited by the chairman of the CLC2017 Organising Committee and president of the Commonwealth Lawyers’ Association to deliver the presentation and chair the session on Online Technology Assisted Judging.

Archie will also attend a board meeting and a Patron Chief Justices’ meeting of the Commonwealth Judicial Education Institute (CJEI) which will address judicial reform and common problems and solutions that impact on judicial education and the administration of justice in the Commonwealth.

The 2017 conference will be held in Melbourne, Australia, and CJ Archie’s attendance is expected to provide an opportunity to learn from the experiences of other Commonwealth Judiciaries, as well as share on current issues common to other legal systems, judicial education and practice, a statement from the Judiciary said yesterday.

In Archie’s absence, Justice of Appeal Allan Mendonca will act as Chief Justice from March 15 to April 8.
