The CAJS Knowledge Share Programme (KSP) is a development cooperation program in which knowledge, experiences, insights and best practices in court innovation and digital transformation are shared with justice sector stakeholders across the Caribbean and around the world.
A critical objective of linking the intellectual strengths of regional stakeholders is the sharing of ideas and views to improve knowledge and assessment of where we are and where and how we should be going forward as a region.
In 2021 the CAJS launched an annual Justice & Technology Symposium that includes judicial and technology experts from the Caribbean, North and Latin American, Europe, Africa and Oceania to discuss global approaches to contemporary issues impacting the delivery of justice.
The CAJS KSP provides the following benefits to Institutional Members and the wider region:
- supports institutional strengthening and capacity building in member states, courts and bar associations through a combination of symposia, workshops, collaborative research projects, policy consultations, and technical assistance;
- delivers practical, on-going development effectiveness through intra-regional, peer-based learning and capacity building; and
- facilitates an Accelerated Training Program to help improve court managers’ competencies and the performance of the judiciary. The program blends theoretical concepts and innovative technology solutions with practical, real-world judicial and court management best-practice, rooted in a unique understanding of the Caribbean environment.
The Institutional membership of the CAJS reflects this vision for an integrated, inclusive approach to Justice Sector modernization.
Institutional membership is available to the judiciaries through their heads of judiciary; Attorneys General as heads of the public bar; the legal academic community including the council of legal education and heads of its agencies; the private and public bar, through the presidents of the respective bar associations; the heads of specialized courts and tribunals; the heads of the police and prison services within the region; and representatives of the private sector and civil society.
