Supreme Court nominee, Justice Hafisata Amaleboba, has recommended the introduction of legal research assistants to enhance justice delivery at the appellate level, while also endorsing a nationwide rollout of the e-justice system to improve court efficiency.
She made these comments on Wednesday, June 18, during her vetting before Parliament's Appointments Committee, responding to a series of questions from the committee on judicial reforms and institutional performance.
When asked whether there were any state institutions she would suggest improvements for, Justice Amaleboba noted that most were performing their roles as mandated by the constitution, though some faced logistical constraints. "Other than that," she said, "I have no further comments." When pressed further about challenges she faces as a Court of Appeal judge, she pointed to the need for research support. "As a Court of Appeal judge, we do exactly what we are supposed to do.
We deliver our judgments, we conduct our research.
