Paralegals in Torit Imotong State are calling on government and civil society organizations to educate the local population on how to access justice.
Claudius Taban working for Support Peace initiative Development organization or SPIDO says many community members ignore the legal procedures needed for one to access his or her rights.
He tells communities to understand the role of paralegal from judges.
Taban says paralegals are working hard to bring citizens closer to the law.
Dayan Luke, head of paralegals in Imotong State says without sensitization, the local population will not have knowledge on legal procedures.
He appeals to civil society organizations to come together to educate the community on understanding the roles and duties of paralegals.
The speakers made the statement in an interview with the media during the rule of law forum in Torit on Wednesday.
