Tifaine Rutherford, a former reporter at the Stabroek News, yesterday traded her pen, recorder, and notepads for a robe and sombre-coloured suits with her admission to the Guyana Bar as one of its newest attorneys-at-law. 

Rutherford said that it was her time as a reporter covering court, which convinced her to leave reporting behind to pursue a career as an attorney-at-law. 

Rutherford’s petition was presented by attorney Latchmie Rahamat before Chief Justice (ag) Roxane George.
