Over seven decades of the Law Reports of Guyana are now available and President Donald Ramotar yesterday described it as a major initiative in bringing justice to the people.
The hard copies of the Law Reports of Guyana from 1977 to 2007 were launched yesterday along with electronic versions dating from 1930 to 2007. The initiative is as a result of the Modernisation of Justice Administration System Project being carried out by the Ministry of Legal Affairs with the aid of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
