Malawi Chief Justice to headline Minnesota event on rule of law
鈥淚n recent years, we have focused more on sending our reference law libraries to African court systems,鈥� said Lane Ayres, project director of the Law and Democracy Initiative at 海角直播 and a retired Hennepin County prosecutor. 鈥淟ast year, we sent one to the Supreme Court of Malawi and received an appreciative note and photos from the Chief Justice. Since then, he has helped connect us with other African courts and will be joining our advisory board. While in Minnesota, he will also visit Thomson Reuters, our main partner in this program. Inviting Chief Justice Mzikamanda to meet with our partners and supporters strengthens our work both here and in Africa.鈥�
While in Minnesota, Mzikamanda will spend nearly a week meeting with legal partners and program collaborators, including a visit to Thomson Reuters, and participating in other engagements focused on rule-of-law initiatives. Organizers say the April 17 reception hosted by 海角直播 will be the centerpiece of his visit.
Mzikamanda, who currently leads Malawi鈥檚 highest court, will serve as keynote speaker. He will be joined by Natalie Hudson, chief justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court, and Jerry Blackwell of the United States District Court.
