Judge Roland Dahn
Though the 1986 Constitution of Liberia provides that everyone is entitled to legal representation, this law seems not to be taking effect in the ongoing investigation of Judge Roland Dahn’s alleged judicial impropriety, due to the constant refusal of some members of the Liberia National Bar Association (LNBA); to take up the case against the judge.
On Friday, February 4, proceeding came to an immediate postponment when the British national, Hans Armstrong who had accused Judge Dahn, raised several legal issues that compelled the Judicial Inquiry Commission (JIC) to inform Armstrong that only a lawyer could help him make said submission before the commission.

tare decisis is a Latin phrase meaning “to stand by things decided.”REF In the judicial context, it is also known as the “doctrine of precedent, under which a court must follow earlier judicial decisions when the same points arise again in litigation.”REF The U.S. Supreme Court has said that
stare decisis is “of fundamental importance to the rule of law.”REF The part it plays in actual judicial decisionmaking, however, is complex, and varies depending on the judicial system, court, and category of case. A recent treatise on the subject, for example, spans more than 800 pages.REF
