The National Centre for State Courts (NCSC) in collaboration with the Judicial Education Institute (JEI) hosted a training workshop for Magistrates of the OECS. The training was held in St. Kitts and Nevis at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort & The Royal Beach Casino from 20th to 21st October 2016. Like the training for judges, the focus of the training was improving written decisions and oral judgements which had as its main objective enhancing the skills of magistrates in the above areas.
The National Centre for State Courts funded the training for magistrates who sit in the 6 independent states of the OECS and the British High Commission and the ECSC funded the participation of the magistrates who sit in Anguilla and the Territory of the Virgin Islands.
