Pacific Judicial Conference (PJC)

Pacific Judicial Conference (PJC)

The 17th Pacific Judicial Conference was held in Nuku'alofa, Tonga from 7 - 9 November 2007. The Conference attendees included the Chief Justices of various Pacific Island countries, Australia and New Zealand. The Conference played a key role in further cementing relationships between judiciaries in the Pacific and maintaining the momentum and enthusiasm for reform that programs such as the Pacific Judicial Development Program and Asia Pacific Judicial Reform Forum are facilitating within the Region. Delegates provided encouraging and favourable feedback on the Conference and the outcomes it achieved. The next Conference is scheduled to be held in 2009.
