- Hon. Justice Mr. Reginald Fynn JA
This offering attempts to capture the legal framework of the Court of Appeal of Sierra Leone tracing its constitutional and factual composition, mentioning also some of its existing processes whilst exploring ideas and recommendations that may provide alternatives which may strengthen the court and generally make it a more effective adjudicating forum. Whilst some of the ideas flow from the experience and practices in other jurisdictions the bulk of them are informed by the author's appreciation of the existing rules as well as his experience appearing before the court as a legal practitioner and later sitting as a member.
