Legal Aid Council resumes operation at downtown office
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Ministry of Justice today said the Legal Aid Council resumed operations at its Harbour Street office, downtown Kingston on Monday.
The resumption of operations came after the Ministry of Health confirmed last Friday that the air quality had returned to a standard that was safe for staff and clients. The operations of the office were affected by emissions that were suspected to have seeped through the air conditioning unit.
The office of the Criminal and Civil Justice Administration, that was also affected, continues to operate from the Head Office of the Ministry of Justice on Constant Spring Road.
The Legal Aid Council provides legal representation to all persons who are in conflict with the justice system whether detained or charged; including Child Diversion cases and children experiencing severe behavioural challenges.
