Lawyers Challenge Government Hiring Practices | Bermuda News

Two Bermudian lawyers from the Ministry of Justice are back in court, challenging how top government jobs are filled — claiming procedural violations and unfair treatment. K. Amani Lawrence argues she was passed over for Chief Parliamentary Counsel in favor of a non-Bermudian, while Eugene Johnston says he was denied a fair shot at Solicitor-General due to flawed job requirements. This is their third court hearing, as they push for a full judicial review after previous rulings allowed some claims — including that the recruitment process may be unconstitutional. The government won’t comment on specifics but confirms Shakira Dill-Francois is now Solicitor-General, with a new hiring process underway for the Chief Parliamentary Counsel role.
