The need to ensure #justice is delivered effectively in remote locations cannot be overstated. With @AusHCSols support, 3 new vehicles were handed over to the #PSO to ensure remote communities in the provinces of Guadalcanal, Western & Makira have effective access to justice.
Staying on top of the ever-evolving legal landscape is as important to the Public Solicitor's Office (#PSO) as it is to citizens.
A set of legal resources added to the PSO library was procured through the #A2J & will be accessible to lawyers & paralegals. (1/3)
