Newly-appointed magistrates have undergone an eight-day multi-stakeholder Orientation Programme facilitated by the Supreme Court of Judicature, following the taking of the Oath of Office, a Supreme Court release stated on Tuesday.
Chief Justice (Ag), Roxane George, took the opportunity to remind the appointees of their core responsibilities. “We have to be ICEE: we must have Integrity; we must be Competent, Efficient, and Effective.”
Meanwhile, Chancellor of the Judiciary (Ag) Justice Yonette Cummings-Edwards during her lecture on the judicial environment, instructed the recently appointed magistrates they must act with respect and decorum and that their behaviour matters both on and off the bench, the release added.
