The Minister for Justice Jonathan Attard said that the aim of this activity is a vast one, where we not only explain justice and the function of various institutions in the justice sector, but also attract more young people towards this sector, which is growing all the time, so that we can continue with our work to ensure that the service that is being given to the people continues to improve and increase efficiency.
“It is important to strengthen knowledge in this very delicate field, because the more knowledge we have, the more intelligent we will have a society on which we can build a good justice system that enjoys the trust of the people it serves” concluded Minister Attard.
