Attorney General Sir Steadroy Benjamin is leading efforts to establish a law school at the University of the West Indies (UWI) Five Islands Campus, with plans for it to begin offering a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree by the 2027–2028 academic year.
The proposed programme is intended to widen access to legal education for students in Antigua and Barbuda and across the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), many of whom currently face challenges pursuing legal studies overseas.
Sir Steadroy said discussions are at an advanced stage, with the Five Islands Campus expected to receive academic support from UWI’s Mona Campus to ensure standards match those of existing UWI law programmes.
The law school would form part of the ongoing expansion of the Five Islands Campus, which is being developed as a regional university hub to serve the wider OECS.

Why aren’t you leading the mission to the Law Leaders meeting out of Antigua?
That’s the one we want you to lead.
Are you scared?
Of what?
Have you ever traveled since you became a minister?
Are you so indispensable that you cannot leave Antigua for a day.
Or is there something hanging over your head??
