Myriam Raymond-Jetté

“…I was among the Ghanaians, observing the court proceedings, conscious of their frustrations and confusions in the front of the Court. It was also an experience in itself to be close to the prisoners, some of whom have been waiting for their judgment for an undetermined number of years. It was sometimes chaotic, but still working in its own way even though there is room for improvement. I also really felt privileged to regularly spend some enlightening time with the Circuit Court judge, the High Court judge and their colleagues after court.”
