MONROVIA, March 9 (LINA) -The Supreme Court of Liberia has on its docket 214 case for its March 2015 Term of Court, Chief Justice Francis S. Korkpor has disclosed.


 
Of the number, 182 are active cases while 32 are motions filed with the Supreme Court, according to the Liberia News Agency.
 
Addressing the opening of its March Term of Court at the Temple of Justice Monday, Chief Justice Korkpor, noted that the Court adjudicated 27 cases during its October Term.
 
 “Remarkable progress has been made in the restoration of public confidence in the judicial system of the country,” he said.
 
He indicated that taking over a system challenged with a barrage of issues to be addressed, his administration immediately embarked on “a confidence restoration campaign” with the institution taking series of measures to help the court regain public trust.
 
He noted that with the lack of infrastructure, trained manpower, inadequate budget, coupled with competing national demands, his administration thought to work on the restoration of public trust in the court system as one of its priorities.
 
The opening section was attended by Justice Minister Benedict Sannoh, Speaker of the house of Representative J. Alex Tyler and Senate Pro-Tempore Armah Z. Jallah.
