Legendary Caribbean Legal Practitioners

In this, the third volume of the CCJ Academy for Law’s Eminent Caribbean Jurists Series, we celebrate 48 well-known Caribbean Legal Practitioners, who by their life, work, and example amply deserve the adjective “Legendary.”

Chosen and written about by their peers, the essays could not be more lively and varied, and are sure to both fascinate and entertain the reader. The common thread quickly becomes apparent: these 48 stand as a pars pro toto for the legal community of the Caribbean in the formative period.

And if Legendary Caribbean Legal Practitioners will leave the reader with the realisation that the awardees in no small measure contributed to what is good and useful in the Caribbean societies today, then the Academy can say with satisfaction: “Mission accomplished.”
