The Commission's doors are open to visitors who wish to obtain information concerning its activities or who wish to discuss matters that are of interest to the Commission. Apart from the interaction with foreign law reform agencies alluded to above, the Chief Justice of Liberia, Madame Justice Gloria Scott, visited the Law Commission on 13 October 2000. She displayed a keen interest in the Commission's work relating to women and children.
In some instances researchers of the Commission and project committee members are invited by government departments, non-governmental organisations and other institutions to attend seminars or conferences and to participate in workshops relating to investigations on the Commission's programme. This inter-sectoral approach facilitates co-operation between the Commission and other role players, serves to publicise the Commission's activities and ensures that duplication of initiatives is avoided.
