Lawyers should use social media to freely express their views on pressing issues in the country without fear, prominent Suva lawyer Richard Naidu told participants at the Fiji Law Society/International Bar Association Convention 2021 in Nadi recently.
He was speaking on free speech or censorship: lawyers and social media. He said lawyers were not robots to only think about the law, but they did have strong opinions on other issues as well.
“We may well resort to Twitter, Facebook, as we are people with opinions and must feel free to express them,” Mr Naidu said.
