The Honourable Dame Janice M. Pereira, DBE, LL.D, Chief Justice, has been recognised by the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) Academy for Law as a Pioneering Caribbean Woman Jurist.\u00a0 This recognition celebrates the contribution of Caribbean women to the institutional and policy-making infrastructure of Caribbean society in areas such as the Judiciary, a field traditionally dominated by men.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Dame Janice was honoured for her sterling contribution to the jurisprudence of the Eastern Caribbean and her leadership in the Judiciary at the official launch of the book,\u00a0Eminent Caribbean Jurists: Pioneering Caribbean Women Jurists<\/em>\u00a0on Tuesday, 12th<\/sup>\u00a0October 2021.\u00a0 The book was presented to Dame Janice by Her Ladyship, The Hon. Madam Louise Esther Blenman, Justice of Appeal of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court in the Bougainvillea Conference Centre at the Bay Gardens Hotel in Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia. \u00a0The book details the significant achievements of Dame Janice and other honourees.<\/p>\n

Dame Janice created history on 24th<\/sup>\u00a0October 2012 when she was sworn in as the first female Chief Justice of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court since the Court\u2019s establishment in 1967. \u00a0She has the distinction of accomplishing many other \u2018firsts\u2019; namely, being one of the first female Virgin Islanders to be called to the Bar of the Virgin Islands; the first Virgin Islander to be appointed to the Bench of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court, and the first female to be appointed to the Court of Appeal \u2013 shattering many glass ceilings throughout her remarkable career.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Dame Janice has brought to the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court innate wisdom and a wealth of experience in the practice of law at both the public and private Bars. Her Ladyship\u2019s philosophy is founded on the precept that the function of law is to promote justice and that the role of the Court is to apply the law in a just manner. \u00a0Dame Janice\u2019s transformational leadership style is encapsulated in a personality that is both engaging and composed, commanding both respect and adoration.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Following the official book presentation, Dame Janice thanked the Judicial Officers, Management and Staff of the ECSC for their unwavering support and her husband, Mr. Joseph Pereira, for always being a tower of strength.\u00a0 Her Ladyship then shared that she learned from her father at a very tender age that \u201chard work never killed anyone<\/em>\u201d, and that her mother always instilled in her the courage to be able to stand up for her convictions and that those lessons have guided her along the way.\u00a0 Dame Janice accepted the recognition on behalf of her parents of blessed memory and other members of her family as well as all the little girls of the Eastern Caribbean who dream of one day becoming Chief Justice.<\/p>\n

The Judicial Officers, Management, and Staff of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court Headquarters and the Court Offices in each Member State and Territory extend warm and heartfelt congratulations to Her Ladyship on this signal achievement.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (ECSC) was established in 1967 by the West Indies Associated States Supreme Court Order No. 223 of 1967. The ECSC is a superior court of record for the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), including six Independent States: Antigua and Barbuda, the Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines; and three British Overseas Territories: Anguilla, The Virgin Islands, and Montserrat.
