We've been hearing about ADR for more than a decade now. Problem is, we have too many corrupt lawyers for it to ever be viable in our country. As it is, we seem to be having a hard enough time these days just trying to keep our court system afloat with honest, competent, hard working, impartial and fair minded judges.
It's common knowledge the public's trust, faith and confidence in our legal system has never been lower than it is today. Many of us think most used car dealers and auto mechanics are more trustworthy than lawyers and many judges, and that's reflected in the fact that fewer and fewer of us are inclined to encourage our children or grandchildren to think about entering the legal profession in today's Bahamas.

Also the deafening silence from the Christian Council and the U.S. State Dept on the conditions at the prison, plays a big role in our justice system.
