Support For Resident Judge Received

The Rainy River District Law Association has an ally in its fight for a resident judge in the Ontario Court of Justice.

Janet Whitehead of the County and District Law Presidents' Association was in Fort Frances Friday to learn first hand of the legal community's concerns.

Whitehead says it's given her a better understand.

Whitehead says the new Attorney General has agreed to review the findings from her visit.

Local Association president Barbara Morgan says it was an an important visit.

Morgan says Whitehead was also able to see court house renovations that have not yet started and spoke with court staff about their challenges as well.
