Lawyers boycotting vacation courts may be failing accused persons — Srem-Sai

Deputy Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr Justice Srem-Sai, has expressed concern about accused persons whose lawyers have chosen to stay away from court during Ghana’s ongoing legal vacation. He said lawyers who boycott proceedings for reasons related to the dispute over vacation sittings could leave their clients vulnerable, particularly in criminal cases where accused persons have a constitutional right to legal representation.
