Monrovia – The integrity of one of the justices of the ECOWAS Court of Justice, Justice M. Wilkins Wright, has come to public disrepute in his home country, Liberia, where the Supreme Court has revoked his license for 12 months. 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. Judge Nuta’s conduct was also in breach of several Judicial Canons and is also suspended for a period of six calendar months.
