Guyana is a step closer to having the Council of Legal Education of the West Indies (CLE) establish a presence here as the body at a recent meeting accepted a proposal from the government.
During a meeting with the Council of Legal Education held in Bridgetown, Barbados on September 16 and 17, Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs Anil Nandlall presented a case for establishment of a Council-run law school in Guyana.
Nandlall in his proposal to the council – the lawful authority for the administering of legal professional education in the Caribbean region – suggested the law school be a Council institution. His proposal states that the institution will be managed and administered by the CLE but that the Government of Guyana will provide the land and buildings based upon criteria and specifications set by the Council.
