The Chamber of Advocates as the representative of the legal profession in Malta
would like to congratulate Mr Justice Mark Chetcuti on his appointment as the new
Chief Justice.
The Chamber welcomes the appointment of Mr Justice Chetcuti and recognises
that this is a historical moment in the history of Maltese judicial appointments in
that, for the first time, the choice of the Chief Justice was made following
consensus by both sides of the house.
His 10 years of experience in the Judiciary will be invaluable for his new
appointment and we are hopeful that the wisdom, knowledge, and experience the
Chief Justice has gained as a member of the judiciary will serve him well as he
works to ensure that the Judiciary fulfils its mandate to administer justice in our
country, without fear or favour.
The Chamber would like to take this opportunity to thank outgoing Chief Justice
Joseph Azzopardi for his service and for always being available to collaborate with
the Chamber, in the best interest of justice.
