He is a social justice and economic empowerment advocate with a strong belief in inclusive leadership and multi-stakeholder participation. His background in law, governance and politics has given him insights and experiences which he is eager to share.
“My scholarly interests are focused on exploring and extending the rights and freedoms of marginalized groups and individuals and creating more inclusive and equitable societies,” he says. Lovell earned the degree of Master of Jurisprudence (MJur) from the University of Birmingham. His thesis (unpublished) was “The Origins and Development of Human Rights Jurisprudence in the Commonwealth Caribbean.” Lovell also holds an LLB from Thames Valley University and a BA from the University of the West Indies.
As an attorney in St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda, his practice is specialized in the fields of Constitutional, Civil and Criminal Law.
He says, “Some of my notable legal efforts in pursuit of justice include:
- Right to disseminate information via the broadcast media
- In 2001, I appeared as counsel with Geoffrey Robertson, QC in the landmark Observer Radio Case which opened the door for private radio broadcasting in Antigua and Barbuda.
- Freedom of Religion
- In 1997 I successfully represented a leader of the Rastafari community to establish Rastafari as a recognized religion entitled to protection under the Constitution.
- Access to the public media
- In 1994 I successfully led the case of Baldwin Spencer v The Minister of Information in Antigua and Barbuda, which paved the way for the Leader of the Opposition to access national media.
- Freedom of Expression
- In 1990, in Hector v Attorney General, I appeared as junior counsel striking down as unconstitutional a law which sought to criminalize legitimate criticisms of government.”
As a Member of Parliament for Antigua and Barbuda from 2004 to 2014, Lovell served as Deputy Prime Minister (2009 to 2014); as Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation; as Minister of Culture and the Environment; and as Minister of Finance, Economy, and Public Administration.
He says, “As Minister of Finance and the Economy during the global economic crisis in 2010, I spearheaded the National Economic and Social Transformational Plan in collaboration with the Central Bank, The World Bank, The Caribbean Development Bank, and the IMF to stabilize and redesign the fiscal economy.”
He went on to serve as political leader of the main opposition party, the United Progressive Party, from 2015 to 2023.
Lovell says he has seen many positive results from his decades of service. He says, “I was able to motivate, mobilize and organize the team towards achieving lasting and sustainable change in the social lives of many Antiguans and Barbudans.”
He arrives at CrimSL now to share his knowledge and experience. He says, “I have a passion for developing and motivating young people to social justice.” His dedication to teaching and mentoring has been a hallmark throughout his challenging, high-profile career.

Lovell is currently teaching CRI493H1 “Human Rights Law and the Post-Colonial Condition: The Caribbean Region” with Professor Kamari Clarke. The course explores struggles for democracy and freedom through the examination of case studies in the Commonwealth Caribbean, with a focus on the role of Courts in shaping democratic political, social and cultural zones through aiming to protect and enforce human rights. It also examines the historical tendencies of the neo-colonial state, the hindrances to democratic growth, and the activist roles played by the Courts in expanding the rights of workers, minorities, and marginalized groups.
He will present “Reflections on law, human rights and democratic leadership in contemporary Caribbean life” on November 27, 2024, as part of the CrimSL Speaker Series co-sponsored by the Centre for Leadership and Diversity at OISE/UT and the Transnational Justice Project.
Please join us in welcoming Professor Lovell!

Adjunct Professor refers to an educator hired on a contractual, part-time basis, often teaching introductory undergraduate or preparatory courses semester-by-semester throughout an academic year. Adjunct professors are not required to conduct research, publish papers or even attend staff meetings. Generally, to be considered for a job as adjunct professor, you need a master’s or doctoral degree, though some community colleges or technical schools hiring for these faculty positions may only require a bachelor’s degree along with relevant work experience.
LMAO!!! you can tell a Lovell write that spcheel lol lol…e full a fart and bogus claims. Antigua and Barbuda still reeling from the Lovell-effect….woieeee ma belly
“with a strong belief in inclusive leadership” so why BADPLAY & UNDERMINE Richard Lewis for party leadership? Why call the Cooks Pond Water PM a “TISSUE PAPER PM”????
Why is this man trying to polish up his resume. I mean he is retired both as a politician and as a Lawyer. The office above Harpers is closed. He has a good pension from both the state and Social Security. he is still able to wear his Armani Suites and his Boss brand name clothes. And he looks good for an almost 69 years old man. Still running behind the young chicks after losing the family nest. Lovell as a friend, just chill. That socalled job you applied for in Canada will not boost your electability or even you profile. Perhaps you like to be called Professor Lovell. You could have applied at UWI Five Islands. Just like your colleagues Jacqui, Giselle and Cleon. They all lecture at the University they first opposed. But that is how far they toke politics.
Jealousy and hatred is in the heart of a badminded person.
that’s why so many people LEAVING UPP IN DROVES!! She nah win none seat, but she want to DICTATE to the candidates. thank God MP Anthony Smith left when he did!!
Congratulations 🍾🎉🎈 Professor Lovell. You deserve all God rich blessings. You will makes Antiguans proud and know that I am very proud of you. You will be an excellent professor.
hope he don’t run into Luis Franka in Canada
I would prefer to be a drop out than to be taught by Harold Flushable Waste Lovell.
Congratulations!🎊🍾🎉🎈
now that he done MESSED UP ANTIGUA, he run gone to Trudeau
Look Antigua bitter bitter. Such a shame. But then again U can see why. Nuff ton a dunce ediattt about!!!
@From The Sideline why should he not polish his resume? So he’s retired from a long held career but he’s not dead. At least he’s finding something constructive to do with his time..unlike you. What have YOU done with your life other than come on this site and decry everyone else?
And so what if he love young ladies. He sharp enough to get them. What happen, you grudge?
Category five hurricane! Now leaving and heading to Canada with all the trouble behind you are abandoning the children and step children when they fully need your guidance and support to save your own sanity in your old age which in truth is not healthy for you and it’s a hard decision but a man has to do what is necessary for his own survival leaving behind an impressive political record as history will be commendable with such a legendary and outstanding political career, congratulations my brother, be safe and God bless
