‘We can still hear you’: Supreme Court launches public engagement programme

Gloria Richards-Johnson

In an effort to ensure that justice remains accessible, the Supreme Court of Judica-ture has embarked on a Public Education and Engagement Programme which allows the courts to continue functioning in keeping with the safety guidelines triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Canadian Government-funded campaign which is titled “We can still hear you” was launched under the Judicial Reform and Institutional Strengthening (JURIST) Project.

Under the campaign, the Supreme Court launched a website https://supremecourt.gy/ which provides mechanisms for matters to be filed online in an effort to reduce the need for visits to court registries. Through this and social media platforms, the public is also being kept informed about court information.
