Press Release
The Liberian National Bar Association (LNBA), under the leadership of its National President, Cllr. Bornor M. Varmah, warmly welcomes and fully endorses the nomination of His Honor Justice Yamie Quiqui Gbeisay as Chief Justice of the Honorable Supreme Court of Liberia by His Excellency Joseph Nyumah Boakai, President of the Republic of Liberia.
The Bar considers this nomination as appropriate, expedient, and legally prudent: a significant and positive step in the right direction for the continued strengthening of the Liberian judiciary. Justice Gbeisay’s appointment reflects not only a commitment to legal excellence, but also to institutional continuity and integrity.
Justice Gbeisay’s professional journey is emblematic of dedication and service to the rule of law. Having risen through the ranks of the judiciary, he brings with him a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the rudiments of the law. His service to the legal profession spans several decades; as a seasoned practicing lawyer, Relieving Judge, and most recently, as a distinguished Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Liberia. His elevation to the role of Chief Justice is a natural progression of his remarkable legal career.
The LNBA also extends profound appreciation to President Joseph Nyumah Boakai for exercising wisdom and discernment in nominating a candidate of such stature and judicial temperament. The Bar respectfully urges the Honorable Liberian Senate to confirm Justice Gbeisay at the soonest possible time to ensure the effective and uninterrupted functioning of the Supreme Court, particularly in light of the mandatory retirement of Chief Justice Sie-A-Nyene Yuoh upon reaching her 70th birth anniversary.
As Justice Gbeisay prepares to assume the leadership of the Liberian judiciary, the LNBA conveys its best wishes for a successful and impactful tenure. We remain confident that under his stewardship, the judiciary will continue to uphold justice, constitutionalism, and the rights of all Liberians.
The LNBA press release concluded by saying, Congratulations, Justice Yamie Quiqui Gbeisay.
