COME TALK TO US about your legal problems.
That is what president of the Barbados Bar Association (BBA) Liesel Weekes encouraged Barbadians to do, as the BBA officially launch the pro bono clinics last Friday evening at its Perry Gap, St Michael offices.
Speaking to the media, attorneys and Professor Velma Newton, regional project director of Improved Access to Justice in the Caribbean Project (IMPACT Justice) which is funding the free legal clinics, Weekes said only two people attended the clinic at the Alleyne School in St Andrew two Saturdays ago and to date, no one had asked for advice on criminal matters.
She said BBA hoped the public would “embrace it and participate more fully than they have in the past [and] take advantage of it”. (GBM)
