The judiciary yesterday launched its revised code of ethics for judicial officers, which seeks among other things, to ensure integrity, impartiality and independence in upholding the Rule of Law.
At a ceremony held at the Pegasus Hotel to mark the launch, acting Chancellor of the Judiciary Yonette Cummings-Edwards said that the integrity of any judicial system, is largely dependent on the ethical standards to which it holds itself.
She said that these standards must be at the core of the judiciary’s ability to function effectively and deliver quality justice and by which its judges, magistrates and other judicial officers are to be guided.
