Chief Justice Sir Burton Hall told the Rotary Club of West Nassau that without public interest the judicial system cannot function as it should.
Sir Burton said public support might encourage people with the power to improve the state of the nation's judicial system to do so.
He also pointed out that The Bahamas' legal support staff are made up of civil servants that administrators have limited powers to hire, fire or discipline.
Sir Burton also said that while criticism of judges and their decisions is part of a working democracy, personal attacks and self-serving accusations serve no-one.

Well I'm dissatisfied.
The backlog of cases that need to go to court is unacceptable as is the length of time that people can spend on remand.
I could go on a rant about this subject but I'll refrain.
