Queen’s College ‘old boy’ Charles S Ramson was recently admitted as a barrister-at-law of the Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn (London) for the Bar of England and Wales.
Charles Ramson
According to a press release, Ramson is the son of Justice of Appeal Charles R Ramson, SC, and Chairperson of the Teaching Service Commission Leila Ramson. The call to the Bar ceremony was held on July 29 and attended by his mother and sister Shakhti.
Ramson obtained a “Very Com-petent” grade certificate – an assessment of 70% from Nottingham Law School. In 2006, he obtained a First Class Honours degree in Law at the University of Buckingham and is only the second or third Guyanese ever to have achieved such distinction in law at a UK university.
Ramson was awarded the Intellectual Property Prize and the Merit Prize for “good all-round performance academically and who has also made an important contribution to the life of the University,” the release said. He also completed his Masters in International and Commercial Law at the University of Buckingham which he attended on partial scholarship.
During his course of study, Ramson was elected President of the Students Union and Secretary of the International Society. He was also the Student Assistant Editor of the Denning Law Journal, a member of the Economist Club, Captain of the university’s cricket team, a member of the Law School’s basketball team and he played regularly for Buck-ingham Town’s First Division Cricket team. The release also said that Ramson played in the Cheddi Jagan Memorial for four successive years.
History has that Guyanese have held key positions and phenomenal achieves …congrats to yet another Guyanese on this memoral achievement. Well done and best wishes for the future.
Continue to make Guyana proud!
It’s really great to see one of our excelling in academics. Guyanese are generally known to be very intelligent people and some of us do make our families and country proud. So kudos to you my friend, I am sure you worked very hard for it and as such deserve the acalade. Great achievments and excellence are definitely things that are worthy of celebrating amid all the bad news. CONGRATS once again
Wow!!! What an accomplishment! ….. and not only academically! Quite an all rounded person! What an inspiration to all of us! You make Guyana proud!!! God Bless You!
Way to go Charles. You make QC old boys and guyanese as a whole proud.
There is no mystery in graduating from law school an being admitted to the bar. Now, Guyanese tax payers would expect him to return to Guyana an fulfill the promise when he was awarded free formal education.
Very impressive young Ramson. Just remember to be humble.
I AM PROUDTO SEE A GUYANESE HAVE DONE WELL CONGRATS AND KEEP THE GOOD WORK
Charles….always knew you would spiral…
You are growing to be massive…..
I’m so proud of you
QC ‘old boy’….So how old is old?…huh lol…..
Anyway congrats for being called to the British Bar.
In 2009, a young Guyanese is called to the English bar and we applaud. Of course he’s done well, though not West Indian trained. He is the son of one of Guyana’s most controversial and flamboyant Attorneys General Charles Rishi Ram Ramson. The Ramson family has strong deep ties with the current administration, but this young man has clearly been advised to focus on deveoping himself out of Guyana and the region and we will wait to see whether he will attend the Hugh Wooding Law School as required by the Legal Profession Act and then be called to the local bar and serve his country as has his father and grandfather.
Guess, when one’s family has the means, studying at home and in the region is not critical. Read between the lines people. Oh, by the way University of Buckingham is not a top university and has been likened to a polytechnic
Congratulation Charles. May you continue to bloom. Make Guyana proud and remember your roots.
congratulation Charles may god bless u and your family keep up the good work
