After a two-year hiatus, the ceremonial opening of the criminal assizes returned to the High Court in Demerara yesterday morning and heard a renewed call by the Bar Association for confirmed appointments to the top two posts in the judiciary and the recomposing of the Judicial Service Commission.
In contrast to previous years, the ceremony which marks the beginning of the April sessions, saw for the first time cultural displays and toasting by members of the judiciary for the contributions of all the stakeholders in the justice sector.
The march-past by the traditional horse-guard of the Guyana Police Force also saw inclusion of members of the Bench, Magistracy, outer and inner Bar; the Attorney General and the Director of Public Prosecutions.
