Court observers

Court observers are individuals who watch court proceedings to monitor fairness, transparency, and adherence to legal standards. They may be independent professionals, lawyers, or representatives from advocacy groups. Their role is to ensure that the judicial process is impartial and respectful of rights. Observers do not participate in trials or influence outcomes; instead, they record observations for reports or accountability purposes. This practice helps promote confidence in the justice system and can highlight areas needing improvement or reform.
