Attorney General, the Hon. Steadroy Benjamin is flying out the island this week to reenergise a lobby that he started back in 2017 for Antigua and Barbuda to have its own law school.<\/p>

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

He will meet with the Carbbean Counsel of Legal Education to push the initiative for Antigua and Barbuda, now with a university campus, to have its own law school.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to go further to complete the circle, and also deal with law because the demand is great and I shall impress upon my colleagues when they meet in Jamaica that this government has the interest to establish a law school here in Antigua and Barbuda\u201d he explained.<\/p>

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

Benjamin first started this process in 2017 for his case for setting up a law school in Antigua; it was particularly to serve the OECS countries and their great demand for this area of study.<\/p>

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

\u201cBecause there are many persons who have applied but because of lack of space they are being deprived of the opportunity to become lawyers.” he highlighted.<\/p>\n

Benjamin is confident that once he presents his findings and research, the counsel will, eventually, rule in his favour.<\/p>
