Chief Justice inaugurates Judicial Press Corps today

Chief Justice Kwasi Anin Yeboah will officially inaugurate the Press Corps of the Judiciary at a ceremony that will take place at the auditorium of the Law Court Complex.

The ceremony will also be used to launch a handbook that will serve as a guide for journalists who report on matters of the Judiciary and the justice delivery system.

The CJ is expected to use the occasion in his inaugural statement to spell out the relationship that has existed between the Judiciary and Journalists to date and underscore the new rapport that the formal recognition of the Judicial Press Corps is expected to establish between the third arm of government and the fourth estate of the realm.

Ahead of the inauguration, members of the Judicial Press Corps, have welcomed the decision of the Judicial Service of Ghana to formally recognize them as exists at the executive arm of government (Presidential Press Corps) and the legislative arm (Parliamentary Press Corps).
