Law
In the area of law the Commonwealth Secretariat has provided training and advice for Magistrates and Judges in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, helping them hear and finalise cases without unnecessary delays. Court administrators are also trained in dealing with the public and legal procedures to avoid delays.
The Secretariat trains police and prosecutors in Commonwealth countries to help them be better prepared to prevent, detect, investigate and prosecute acts of terrorism and tackle money laundering. We also assist member countries in setting up national training programmes in these areas.
We assist countries to stem the shortage of specialist lawyers, for example legislative drafters, by providing technical assistance and setting up training courses, holding regional forums in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific. At these forums Attorneys-General discuss challenges and share knowledge and experiences as they work towards solutions.
The Commonwealth Law Bulletin provides a legal research resource, particularly in jurisdictions where a wide range of Commonwealth legal journals are unavailable.
