Building a more efficient and accessible justice system! βοΈ A new batch of justice practitioners has begun a 40-hour training on #ADR and #PleaBargaining. By strengthening skills and promoting collaboration, this initiative will reduce case backlogs and improve #AccessToJustice.
The commemoration, attended by officials including @Ibuka_Rwanda National President, @GakwenzirePhil1, began with a Walk to Remember and the laying of wreaths at the #Nyanza Genocide Memorial Site where over 31,000 victims of the Genocide against the Tutsi are rested.
ILPD staff, alumni, students, neighbors, & other officials came together in unity for the 32nd Commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. Together, we honor the victims, stand with survivors, and reaffirm our commitment to βNever Again.β #Kwibuka32#RememberUniteRenew
Reports indicates that 549 bank cases & 84 microfinance cases filed in commercial courts since 2023, only 157 & 200 respectively were resolved via mediation.

The Deputy Chief Justice, Hon. Justice Alphonse HITIYAREMYE, has encouraged financial institutions to promote amicable settlements through #ADR. He emphasized that #Mediation and #Arbitration are efficient, timely, and business-oriented tools for resolving commercial disputes.

βADR is not Alternative Dispute Resolution; ADR is #Africa Dispute Resolution.β Powerful reflections from Hon. Justice Prof. Andrew Khawuka, @JudiciaryUG on reclaiming indigenous justice. By embracing plea bargaining & restorative reform, #Uganda has already saved UGX 38 Billion
Fascinating insight from today's symposium: Plea bargaining dominates #US (~90%) & #UK courts, but a 2001 Rwanda study found 60% skepticism due to low public awareness. π
Systemic legal reform requires deep public trust and community education to truly succeed. βοΈβ¨

Enhancing justice through a conflict-sensitive lens. Advocates have wrapped up a 3-day specialized training (May 12-14) led by Prof. Vincent Sezibera. Conducted by @LegalPracticeRW, made possible through the support of @PoleInstitute. #AccessToJustice#CapacityBuilding
The 22nd DLP evening intake has officially kicked off in #Kigali. One year of intensive training and 6 weeks of internship stand between these students and their journey as certified legal practitioners. Success to all! #FutureLawyers#Rwanda#LegalEducation#ILPD
Opening the training, Rector @MuyobokeAime reminded lawyers that justice transcends the law; it requires understanding history, people, and conflict dynamics. This training equips them to prevent escalation, promote mediation, and advance sustainable peace. #CrossBorderPeace
