“ADR is not Alternative Dispute Resolution; ADR is #Africa Dispute Resolution.” 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. 📊
Systemic legal reform requires deep public trust and community education to truly succeed. ⚖️✨
