Judicial Service holds conference to harmonise operations of court registries

The Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo, in her quest to enhance the administration of justice and ensure a responsive legal system that addresses the needs of citizens, has organized a Conference for Supervising High Court Judges, Regional Administrative Officers and Court Registrars of the Judicial Service in the Southern Sector of Ghana, in Accra.

The one-day Conference which was spearheaded by the Judicial Training Institute (JTI) had the theme; “Building the Pillars of Justice in Coherence and Harmony”.

The main objective of the Conference was to enhance the administration of justice by addressing relevant, practical models to remove barriers to efficiency and effectiveness in justice delivery.

According to Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, “Court Registrars play a pivotal role in the justice delivery system and as quasi-judicial officers, it is important that they are informed, possess integrity and strong leadership skills”.

The Conference was thus meant to involve participants in finding practical solutions to issues which work against effective and efficient delivery of services to the public.

The Conference identified institutional and structural barriers that impinge on work at the registry level and in overall judicial administration. It further served as an avenue for direct interactions with the Chief Justice, Management, Supervising High Court Judges.
