Moot Court Guyana, an organisation under the Faculty of Law of the University of Guyana (UG) has invited several key players of Guyana’s judiciary to a symposium next Tuesday in an attempt to flesh out short, medium and long-term solutions to Guyana’s legal education conundrum.
Plans for the symposium, which will be held under the theme: “The Future of Legal Education in the Caribbean Com-munity (Caricom)” got underway after it became apparent earlier this year that the current mechanism which facilitates Guyanese students being able to complete their legal studies in Trinidad and Tobago is not ironclad.
Mistress of Moot and second-year student-at-law Carmilita Jamieson yesterday told Stabroek News that the symposium will feature a panel discussion as its highlight.
The panel, if all those invited to sit on it accept, will comprise several notable stakeholders in Guyana’s judiciary, and the Council of Legal Education (CLE), the body which oversees the provision of legal education in the Caribbean.
CLE Chairman Jacqueline Samuels-Brown, Legal Affairs Minister and Attorney General Anil Nandlall, Chancellor
