About Johnnie Lewis

Johnnie N. Lewis was a Liberian lawyer and politician who served as the 18th Chief Justice of Liberia from 2006 to 2012. Before his appointment to the Supreme Court, he served as a circuit judge in Liberia's judicial system. After finishing high school, Lewis attended the University of Liberia in Monrovia where he earned first a Bachelor of Arts, then a Bachelor of Laws from the university's Louis Arthur Grimes School of Law. This decision created a rift between some members of the legislature, President Johnson-Sirleaf, and the Supreme Court.
