ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CHAMBERS OF BOTSWANA

The Magistrate or Judge presiding over my case is a friend of my opponent. They are always together. I feel I cannot have a fair trial in the circumstances. Can your office help me?

No. You will have to apply to the Court that they recuse themselves i.e. transfer your case to another Magistrate or Judge. If (s) he refuses you can appeal to a higher Court.
