NCW congratulates the newly sworn-in magistrates Doreen Clarke, Edwina Grima and Anthony Ellul. All three are young and this clearly indicates the importance being given to young people's contribution to the judiciary. NCW is pleased to note the increasing number of very able women who have been appointed to senior posts in this field. May we soon be able to witness a similar increase in decision-making positions in other areas, in particular in the political and economic spheres.
