Wright was nominated to the bench of regional court in 2014 by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. His ascendency to the Court was a giant step in Liberia’s recognition of the body, as the Supreme Court of Liberia continues to resist subordination to the regional court. Serving on the ECOWAS Court is by nomination by the President a member state who is given a slot for nomination. The Court also noted a consistent pattern of misconduct by Judge Paye in violation of several Judicial Canons, and has also been suspended for 12 calendar months. Judge Nuta’s conduct was also in breach of several Judicial Canons and is also suspended for a period of six calendar months.
