Attorney Lennox Lawrence says with respect to innovation & justice reform, the judicial settlement conference introduced by Dame Janice Perreira, and championed by justices must be highly commended as the pilot started in Dominica.
He says he was fortunate to have been a part of the first two judicial settlement conferences in Dominica, it is remarkable how the very combative approach to litigation is quickly dispensed with -conciliatory a resolution driven approach is taken over within the first half hour of the conference.
The JSC has now become mandatory across the region.
Meantime, Lawrence says looking ahead he thinks it opportune that the judicial settlement conferencing be extended to other areas.
