Esther Stanford-Xosei, (Jurisconsult) speaks as part of the Community Law Circle on The CARICOM Reparations Initiative: What does it mean for the Afrikan reparations case in Britain? which took place on 10th December 2013. An Introduction to the NAPP Community Law Study & Dialogue Action Circle Access to justice for Afrikan individuals, families and our communities requires knowledge, skills and positive attitudes such as the self and community confidence and determination to be able to utilise, engage and transform laws as they impact on our person, families and communities. The Community Law Circle is a space where we aim to do just that - i.e. 1. Increase the capacity of participants to deal with legal issues - by improving our critical understanding of the law, discussing when and how best to take action, or by making better choices and avoiding law related problems. 2. Raise the legal consciousness and capability of participants so that they are more equipped, knowledgeable, confident and capable of self-determinedly applying law, contesting and resisting unjust law and shaping 'just' law in their day to day lives. We will do this by: · Providing law related education including public legal education · Providing support to relevant community campaigns · Engaging in legal and extra-legal community defence initiatives · Facilitating stimulating dialogues on relevant legal issues among and between lawyers and those untrained in law.
