 Before Christopher Belfield was admitted to the bar on October 27th, 2023, he juggled a consuming lifestyle, striving to balance his academic pursuits with numerous extra-curricular activities, including sports and theatre. He remains involved in the arts today.

Belfield’s bustling school life would later prove advantageous in his adulthood. He articulated that he chose to pursue law at the University of London due to its flexibility, enabling him to gain invaluable work experience while studying. He started his career at Ibis Chamber as a legal clerk, later transitioning to a role as a paralegal. Alongside his legal work, he continued to pursue additional income streams, including stints at a call centre and occasional event assistance. Belfield’s dedication to his studies paid off, leading him to qualify for admission to Hugh Wooding Law School in Trinidad.
