Attorney General Allyson Maynard Gibson delivered the keynote address at our sister school in Trinidad and Tobago

Senator The Hon. Allyson Maynard-Gibson QC, Attorney-General of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas and Minister of Legal Affairs addressed the 2015 graduates of the Hugh Wooding Law School, Port-of-Spain, Trinidad.

AG Maynard-Gibson urged students to embrace new opportunities in the law that will continue to arise in the face of rapid advances in information communication technology and changes in societal beliefs and values.

She reminded graduates that although we are in a time of change, there are timeless principles that will remain constant. She urged them to work with integrity, always do their best, never stop learning, give back to their community and promote efficiency. “Please give as much as you can and as often as you can to developing ‘The Law’ and a just society. ‘Justice’ as exhorted by Sir Hugh Wooding and countless others is a spiritual concept. It will be attained as you unceasingly ask the One higher than us all to give you ‘wisdom’”.
