Haitians Visit NOLA for Tips on Improving Judicial System

The Times-Picayune reports that a group of Haitians is in New Orleans this week to describe problems within their country's judicial system and to find possible solutions.

On Tuesday, the opening day of the event, the visitors heard speakers at Tulane University Law School on such topics as how to popularize the law. On Wednesday, they moved on to more talks at Loyola Law School. Their visit, which continues through Saturday, also will include stops at the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the Louisiana Supreme Court. Among the most prominent of the participants is Alexandre Boniface, president of Haiti's Supreme Court.
