Over 124 Law Books Donated to Belize’s Senior Courts

Over 124 law books were donated to the Senior Courts of Belize from the International Law Book Facility (ILBF), a London-based charity. This donation replenishes resources lost when Hurricane Lisa destroyed the Supreme Court library.

The contribution was presented by Linda Dobbs, DBE, an esteemed jurist with extensive experience in judicial education. The timely donation of books, which coincides with the ongoing seminar hosted by the Judicial Education Institute of the Senior Courts, which focuses on Sentencing Guidelines, Judgment Writing, and Evidence, was received by Chief Justice Louise Esther Blenman.

This contribution will provide vital resources for legal professionals and scholars in Belize. The Senior Court said in a statement, “These essential legal texts will greatly benefit judges, legal practitioners, and scholars in their work… This generous donation ensures that judicial officers will once again have access to critical legal resources.”
