Whilst  efforts  are  being  made  to  address  the  issue  of  access  to  justice,  a  critical  issue  remains   which   require   continuing   attention   –   the   cost   of   initiating   court   proceedings.   Stakeholders   contend  that  many  people  cannot  afford  to  pay  for  legal  advice  or  representation.  There  are  no   Citizens’  Advice  Centres  in  Ghana,  and  the  hourly  rate  for  a  senior  counsel  is  USD  300,  and  for  a   junior  counsel,  USD150.  Even  though  the  Constitution  contains  provisions  that  grant  the  poor   legal   aid,   and   its   being   effected   through   the   Ghana   Legal   Aid   Scheme   (GLAS),   a   key   challenge   has  been  the  inadequate  provision  of  resources.   Ghana  has  set  up  a  Legal  Aid  Scheme  as  a  requirement  of  the  1992  Constitution  to  ensure  the   inclusion  of  the  poor  in  the  justice  delivery  system  and  legal  defense  of  the  Constitution.  The   mandatory  requirements  for  legal  aid  led  Parliament  to  enact  the  Legal  Aid  Scheme  Act,  1997.   Through  government  subvention  and  assistance  for  development  partners,  the  Scheme  assisted   in  the  resolution  of  about  5,000  cases  in  2008.     3.10.1   Low  public  confidence  in  the  justice  system   The   Judicial   Service   has   made   efforts   to   mainstream   Alternative   Dispute   Resolution   (ADR)   procedures  in  order  to  enhance  access  to  justice  in  the  country.  Mediators  have  been  trained   throughout  the  country  to  implement  ADR  and  mediation  desks  have  been  established  in  some   district   courts.   An   ADR   Secretariat   has   been   established   within   the   Judicial   Service.   Commercial   38
