4. Practicing Law in the Caribbean:
Pathway to Qualification:
To practice law in the Caribbean, graduates must obtain the Legal Education Certificate (LEC), issued by the Council of Legal Education (CLE).
Law Schools Offering the LEC:
- Norman Manley Law School (Jamaica).
- Hugh Wooding Law School (Trinidad and Tobago).
- Eugene Dupuch Law School (The Bahamas).
- Guyana Law School Note:
The Guyana Law School, currently at an advanced stage of preparation, is poised to serve the same role and function as the established Norman Manley Law School, Hugh Wooding Law School and Eugene Dupuch Law School. Upon becoming operational, it will offer the Legal Education Certificate (LEC) and mirror the academic and professional standards upheld by these distinguished institutions.
Whilst we do not presume to speak for or on behalf of the proposed Guyana Law School, it stands to reason and logic that its raison d’être, anchored in the removal of existing barriers and restrictions, addresses the longstanding challenges faced by graduates of Guyana’s accredited institutions, including those conferred by the University of Guyana.
Moreover, it would be counterintuitive and contradictory for the Guyana Law School to perpetuate the same barriers and restrictions it was explicitly conceived to eliminate. Such an outcome would undermine its ratio essendi and conflict with its causa finalis. Therefore, it naturally follows that law degrees awarded by institutions accredited by Guyana’s National Accreditation Council (NAC), the sole competent and authoritative accrediting body in the country, would receive unrestricted recognition and acceptance at the Guyana Law School.
Further, at its core, the establishment of the Guyana Law School represents a decisive and forward-thinking response to historical inequities. It signifies a commitment to equity, accessibility, and institutional integrity, offering a clear and unimpeded pathway for holders of locally accredited law degrees to obtain the Legal Education Certificate (LEC) without unnecessary obstacles or limitations.
In conclusion, the Guyana Law School is not merely an institution of legal education; it is a symbol of progress, fairness, and recognition, ensuring that national accreditation serves as an unassailable benchmark of academic legitimacy and a gateway to professional legal qualification both within Guyana and across the wider Caribbean.
Eligibility Criteria:
1. To be eligible for admission, applicants must have obtained one or other of the following qualifications:
The Degree of Bachelor of Laws from the University of the West Indies.
The Degree of Bachelor of Laws from the University of Guyana provided that:
The holder of this degree is a national of Guyana; and
The holder is on the list of 25 nationals of Guyana provided by the Registrar of the University of Guyana annually to the Council of Legal Education.
2. To be considered for admission, applicants who are in possession of the following qualifications must sit the annual Entrance Examination conducted by the Council of Legal Education and subject to the availability of space, will be offered a place at the Law School to which they are zoned:
- A university degree in law awarded by a university in a common law jurisdiction.
- The Common Professional Examination Certificate (UK) together with vocational training.
- Non-nationals of Guyana who are holders of an LL.B. degree awarded by the University of Guyana.
- Nationals of Guyana who are the holders of an LL.B. degree awarded by the University of Guyana and who were not on the list of 25 graduates provided annually to the Council of Legal Education by the Registrar of the University of Guyana whether the degree was awarded in the current academic year or in a previous year.
