New Mediators to Be Sworn in at Senior Courts of Belize

A new group of criminal and civil mediators will be sworn in at the Senior Courts of Belize on Thursday, December 19. The Court says that the new cohort of court-connected civil and criminal mediators has completed a rigorous training and certification process that will be essential in assisting the court to resolve disputes efficiently without the need for full trials.

Their role is part of Belize’s ongoing efforts to improve alternative dispute resolution and enhance the delivery of justice across the country.

Chief Justice Louise Esther Blenman will lead the ceremony on Thursday at 10:00 a.m. at the High Court in Belize City.
