THE Assembly of Southern Lawyers (ASL) is calling for Chief Justice Ivor Archie to be investigated for his role in the Judicial and Legal Service Commission (JLSC) pressuring former chief magistrate Marcia Ayers-Caesar to resign as a High Court Judge.

Archie, as chief justice, is head of the JLSC.

The ASL's call came on March 24, hours after this country's highest court – the Privy Council – upheld the Appeal Court's declarations and orders on the unconstitutionality of Ayers-Caesar's removal as a judge, since the JLSC did not follow the section 137 process.
