THE CHARGE
Justice Dipeolu emphasised that continuous learning was essential for magistrates who must contend with evolving laws, new technologies, and changing social realities.
She urged them to embrace technology as a tool for efficiency and to invest in their own professional growth.
WHY IT MATTERS
The judiciary is often criticised for being slow to adapt to technological change.
From case management to evidence presentation, technology has the potential to transform how justice is delivered.
But judges and magistrates must be willing to learn and adapt.
Justice Dipeolu’s charge is a recognition that the pursuit of justice requires not only legal knowledge but also a commitment to continuous improvement.
