Chief Justice Honourable Mde. Louise Esther Blenman is pleased to announce the official launch of the Criminal Law Practitioners Programme (CLPP), a landmark professional development initiative of the Judicial Education Institute (JEI) of the Senior Courts of Belize. The Programme is being implemented with the financial support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) under the European Union-funded Partnership of the Caribbean and European Union on Justice (PACE Justice) programme.
The CLPP is a specialised training programme designed to strengthen professional capacity across Belize’s criminal justice system. Bringing together members of the Judiciary, legal practitioners, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and other justice-sector professionals, the programme will provide participants with practical training in criminal law and procedure, evidence, advocacy, case preparation, ethics, and professional responsibility. Through a combination of substantive instruction and skills-based learning, the programme seeks to promote professional excellence, strengthen collaboration among justice-sector stakeholders, and support the fair and effective administration of justice.
This initiative forms part of the Senior Courts of Belize’s Strategic Plan. It reflects the Judiciary’s ongoing commitment to building a modern, responsive, and accessible justice system while enhancing public confidence in the criminal justice system.
The official launch of the programme will be held on Friday, 2nd October 2026 at 9:00 a.m., in the Main Courtroom of the Senior Courts of Belize, Treasury Lane, Belize City. It will formally mark the commencement of this important initiative.
The Judicial Education Institute extends its sincere appreciation to the European Union, UNDP, and PACE Justice for their partnership and support in making this programme possible.
