  Thoughts of Malcolm Simmons

   

  Malcolm Simmons Eulex is an extremely popular personality. He is a lawyer from England and had also worked as a judge. Malcolm Simmons became famous because of his work in framing the judicial reforms in modern society. He served his tenure being a criminal judge, and Simmons was also a president of Eulex Judges between the years 2014 and 2017. Given below are some of the highlights of Malcolm Simmons work, explaining the importance of judicial reforms in modern society, which basically consists of six core judicial values: -

   

  • As per judge Malcolm Simmons Eulex, effective communication and understanding are the keys to any judicial proceedings. Any kind of unjust done will never be released if someone remains silent. Also, it is important to understand each witness as well as proof before landing on the final decision soon.

   

  • He believes that the courtroom language should be kept simple, and an explanation should only be given when it's required. This is because many people feel anxious about how to react or how to sit, stand or frame their words in the court. Keeping the courtroom language simple would make them feel comfortable and they will be able to explain well.

   

  • He also said that there should be no inappropriate behavior, offensive comments, unwise joke or even an unacceptable facial expression should be allowed in the court. He even says there is no comparison of behavior between an experienced law professional and a layman who has come to the court for the first time. Thus, the lawyers are expected to be in judicial limits during the court proceedings.

   

  • Judge Malcolm Simmons believes that at times a person might be true on his or her path but is not able to represent it well in front of the court. Due to this, the other party takes advantage and justice remains obscured.  According to him, both the parties should be treated equally, i.e., if someone belongs to a minority community and speaks a language which is hardly understood by the court, then that person should be provided with facilities so that he or she can explain the scenario in a better and effective way.

   

  • Stereotypes are one of the root causes which lead to unfair decisions and is a highly inappropriate act to a person if you belong to a high judicial category. Also, it is the responsibility of the judicial office holders to stay aware, i.e., know the matter well with each and every detail of the case without landing onto the final decision.

   

  Judge Malcolm Simmons Eulex has helped a lot in transforming a judicial system and making courtroom a just and secure place for the unprivileged people.
