In a major step toward strengthening the rule of law and legal awareness in Liberia, the Noble Second Floor (NSF) has officially launched its much-anticipated public legal education radio program, “What the Law Says.”
The new program, which made its debut on Saturday, July 5, airs weekly on Prime FM 105.5 at 6:00 p.m., with simultaneous live streaming via NSF’s official Facebook page. It is designed to explain legal concepts in simple terms, helping Liberians better understand their rights, responsibilities, and the legal issues that impact their daily lives.
Speaking during the launch, Josiah Maxwell Monmia, President of the Noble Second Floor, underscored the importance of making legal knowledge accessible to the general public.
“This program is a tool for empowerment,” Monmia said. “When citizens understand the law, they are better equipped to protect themselves, avoid exploitation, and resolve conflicts peacefully.”
Monmia noted that while the show aims to educate, it is not a substitute for professional legal advice. He urged listeners facing legal challenges to consult licensed attorneys rather than resorting to self-help, which often leads to more problems.
The Noble Second Floor, a network of law students, lawyers, and judges, has been a vocal advocate for academic excellence and public service in the legal field. The organization believes that public legal education is essential for building a just, democratic society.
“This is not just about teaching law,” Monmia said. “It’s about building a culture where justice is accessible, and the rule of law is respected. That is how we create a safer, fairer Liberia for everyone.”
NSF is working in partnership with institutions such as the Liberia National Bar Association and other stakeholders to ensure that legal information shared through the program is accurate, relevant, and impactful.
With “What the Law Says,” the Noble Second Floor takes a significant stride in its mission to expand access to legal knowledge and promote justice across Liberia.
