Cassandra Jaikaran has been presented with a Guyana Legal Aid Clinic book prize which is conferred annually in the memory of the late Senior Counsel Miles Greeves Fitzpatrick.
A release from the legal aid clinic said that the presentation for the 2022/2023 academic year took place on January 25th at its Georgetown office.
The prize – in the form of books to the value of USD500.00 – was established in 2019 in memory of Fitzpatrick, a founder member and former director of the clinic and lifelong advocate for equal access to justice. It is awarded for the best performance in legal aid by a Guyanese student at the Hugh Wooding Law School.
