She drew attention to the operational limitations of the Legal Aid Commission, stating that its capacity is severely hampered by inadequate staffing and funding. To address this, she proposed deploying law graduates during their National Service to the Commission’s offices across the country.

She stated, “We can send National Service persons and the next time they finish, another batch goes. I think we will build the capacity and be achieving what they set out to do. Some may even stay on and make their lives in legal aid."

Justice Janapare Bartels-Kodwo, also acknowledged the Judiciary’s responsibility in protecting vulnerable parties in cases involving estates, inheritance and spousal property. While she noted that Ghana has yet to pass a comprehensive law on spousal property rights, she indicated that Judges have consistently applied equitable principles. “Every case will be looked at on its own merits... the law would always be fair and equitable in dealing with spousal property,”

In response to a question on the Judiciary’s constitutional role in ensuring that other arms of government act within the limits of the law and fulfill their constitutional obligations, Her Ladyship affirmed the Judiciary’s constitutional mandate to ensure accountability across all arms of government. She asserted, “If a matter comes to court which has to do with Parliament or Executive not doing what they are supposed to do under the Constitution, I don't think the Judiciary will sit down and just fold its arms." She emphasized that judicial intervention in such cases does not amount to interference, but rather, a duty under the principle of separation of powers.
