He obtained his LLB with First Class honours at the University of the West Indies Cavehill Campus. During his time there, he was elected a member of the Law Society and served on the mooting and entertainment committees.

In his remarks, the Chief Justice challenged the new attorney to respect the legal profession and his college. He also alluded to the fact that the bench must be respected, that having a legal education alone is not necessarily the prerequisite for a successful lawyer.

The new attorney promised to uphold the legal profession and to work towards becoming a good lawyer.
