LSB CHAIR: Tshekiso
The Law Society of Botswana has issued a warning against the practice of appointing fresh graduates to the magistracy saying it is detrimental to the quality of Administration of Justice and the careers of the appointees.
LSB Chairman, Tshekiso Tshekiso expressed the concern at the official opening of the Legal Year. “We think the appointment of Magistrates from graduates who are coming out of University does not always turn out best as most are young and without sufficient experience to be given such immense responsibility and power. The exuberance of youth may also sometimes unfortunately lead wayward, rushed, and unsympathetic conduct against litigants and legal professionals,” he said.
