Indian Assessors In

IN February, for the first time in Fiji, two Indians served as assessors in the Supreme Court.

The case was one in which an Indian was charged with murder.

Previously in Fiji, Assessors and jury were selected from European residents of

the Colony. But the last lists published included the names of Indians as well as Europeans.

The Hon. Michael Lindsay has been appointed Senior Research Fellow at the School of Pacific Studies of the Canberra National University. At present he is lecturer in Economics at the Hull University.
