Developing Bhutan's judicial manpower
TRAININGS provide opportunities to review the system, reassess performance, share knowledge and experience and build understanding, cooperation and friendship, the Chief Justice, Dasho Sonam Tobgye said in his inaugural address at the second training for Administrative Assistant course for Bench Clerks on October 15.

"Trainings and seminars are not necessarily only learning process of new knowledge or an exercise to change the direction," the Chief Justice said. "It is the cultivation of conditional reflex actions nurtured through repetition of practice, learning lessons from the experiences of others and the wisdom of ages. We are gathered here for that purpose to make the judicial system more effective and efficient."

The Chief Justice added that changes were evident in the judicial environment and that it needed to update its wisdom and equip itself with new skills through training to meet the challenges of a rapidly modernizing nation like Bhutan. "What we say today will be forgotten but its significance and impact will be remembered by the future generations of Bhutan," he said. "It is yet another step for the judiciary to maintain its lead and to lead effectively."

The 27 trainees, during the two-year training will study Bhutanese law, dzongkha, English, typewriting in both English and dzongkha, personal and office management, accounts and auditing and computers.
