New Community Legal System in Panama

Panama - Legal facilitators and arbitrators will soon be settling disputes and carrying out preventive actions in their communities in the Panamanian provinces of Herrera and Veraguas.

According to the Supreme Court of Justice, Judge Aida Lopez and facilitator Paulio Gomez, both from Nicaragua, will advise local experts in selecting communities and staff benefitting from the program.

The legal facilitators and arbitrators will promote legal education in their communities, and solve family and genre violence cases.

Facilitators will also assist the local judge, thus improving access to the legal system.

According to Judge Lopez, the program promotes citizen participation since they will elect their own representatives, "who will be appointed later by the judge and accredited by the Supreme Court of Justice".
