Basseterre, Saint Kitts- November 26
The Ministry of Justice and Legal Affairs and Attorney – General’s Office, is delighted to unveil its completely redesigned official website, a milestone that marks a bold step toward fulfilling our constitutional mandate of making justice truly accessible to every citizen. This is not merely a cosmetic refresh but a fundamental reimagining of how government delivers legal information and services, deliberately designed to remove complexity and place reliable, plain- language guidance directly into the hands of the public.
Built through an inclusive development process guided by the Ministry’s Communications Unit and the Department of Technology, the new platform meets people on their terms. It combines clean, intuitive navigation with straightforward language so that vital information about rights, obligations, court procedures, legal aid, victim support, and government legal services is no longer hidden behind j argon or buried in lengthy documents. Whether someone is a first-time visitor seeking basic advice or a frequent user requiring detailed forms and legislation, the site is adaptable.
Among the transformative features now available are a fully responsive, user-centric layout that instantly clarifies the roles and services of every department, eliminating guesswork and enhanced search functionality that delivers accurate results in seconds. The site also sports “Voice It,” our AI-powered conversational assistant available around the clock in both voice and text formats.
This launch represents far more than a technical upgrade; it is a public declaration that access to justice is a right, not a privilege. By harnessing modern technology to promote transparency, simplicity, and responsiveness, we are building greater public confidence in the legal system and encouraging active, informed participation in the rule of law.
We warmly invite every citizen, resident, student, business owner, and community leader to explore this new digital gateway to justice at https://legal.gov.kn/ and share their feedback so we can continue improving together. Your justice system is now more open, more understandable and unequivocally yours.
