Written by the core participants of CEELI's African Judicial Exchange Network, this publication’s objective is to provide a useful resource in both regards—as a practical handbook for individual judges that also increases clarity and transparency in overall judicial interactions with parties before the court and the public at large.

Clear and transparent communication and judicial reasoning are the cornerstones of a well-functioning legal system, where potential for corruption is greatly reduced. And the CEELI Institute was honored to support the African Judicial Exchange Network in developing his incredible tool that will be beneficial to judges in all parts of the world.
