Fascinating insight from today's symposium: Plea bargaining dominates #US (~90%) & #UK courts, but a 2001 Rwanda study found 60% skepticism due to low public awareness. 📊
Systemic legal reform requires deep public trust and community education to truly succeed. ⚖️✨
@LegalPracticeRW Rector, @MuyobokeAime reminded us that #RestorativeJustice is native to Africa’s legal heritage. He highlighted the vital role of plea bargaining, diversion, and #ADR mechanisms in fostering a more efficient, equitable, and reconciliatory justice system. 🇷🇼⚖️
