Welcome to the 57th edition of The Monitor, the final edition for 2011. It’s been an eventful year, and we are proud as a Centre to have been able to accomplish a number of good projects. For this, we would like to thank all our funding partners, including TROCAIRE, the Fund for Global Human Rights, The Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA), ENCISS, and TIRI, for their technical and financial support. We would also like to thank our numerous civil society partners who have stood by us throughout this year – your moral and technical support has been extremely invaluable. We cannot thank you enough! As a new year approaches, we sincerely hope that the positive relationship we have had with all of you will only get better.

Welcome to the 56th edition of The Monitor, a monthly publication of the Centre for Accountability and Rule of Law (CARL). This publication discusses critical national issues relating to justice, accountability, rule of law, and general governance issues. In particular, it chronicles observations and analysis from our Court Monitors who sit in various formal and informal courtrooms every week day across the country to observe if court officials adhere to procedural and substantive legal standards. This newsletter, The Monitor, gives us an opportunity to share our observations and thoughts on the anomalies and/or improvements in the justice sector.
