Sierra Leone: CJ Calls for Legal Aid Guide to Be Statutory

Chief Justice Abdulai Charm has admonished that the draft Legal Aid Guide be transformed into a statutory instrument. He was speaking on Thursday, 4 August at the endorsement meeting on the Legal Aid Guide, held at the Cube Restaurant in Freetown.

"I would advise that after today's workshop, steps would be taken to make the Guide a Statutory Instrument for it to have the force of law and bind all accredited legal aid providers. I would enjoin all participants to go through the draft Legal Aid Guide meticulously so as to make it a very good instrument in the furtherance of the work of the Board and the delivery of justice in our beloved country," said Hon. Justice Charm.
