0 comments
In June 2007 DIILS international operations officers CPT Nagesh Chelluri (US Army) and LT Derek Mills (USN) hosted 3 Togolese Judges and their interpeter in Washington DC for a week of orientation on US Tort claims laws. The delegation met with representative of the US Army Claims Service (USARCS), The US Army Litigation Division (Lit Div), and the Department of Justice Tort Claims Division (DoJ) and gained an appreciation for the interaction between Lit Div, USARCS and DoJ in handling claims against the US government by American citizens. A highlight of the visit was a meeting with DoJ summer interns and law students. The judges enjoyed interacting with the students and answering their questions about the Togolese legal system.
