A group of judges and advocates had a dinner in one of luxurious
hotels of Yerevan accompanied by Carin Metis, head of American Bar
Association.
Carin Metis is on a three-day visit to Yerevan to congratulate the
newly accredited advocates who passed qualification test.
Metis said they are trying to help "to create independent judicial
system and independent advocates unions in Armenia so that they are
free and not corrupt."
Asked if they have recorded a slightest progress in this sense,
Metis said, "We have not reached our aims yet but we closely work
with judges and advocates. We will accomplish our goals."
The head of Bar Association also was asked if the proposed raise
in salary in the new budget will reduce corruption in the judicial
system. She said that in her countries judges are paid high salaries
so that they do not take bribes. In case they do, they lose their
jobs.
