UG law students placement at Hugh Wooding in limbo

Caricom Heads of Government have agreed to discuss UWI’s decision to not guarantee UG’s 2014 batch of law graduates placement at the Hugh Wooding Law School when they meet this weekend, GINA says.

For years, an agreement between the University of the West Indies’ Council for Legal Education (CLE) and the University of Guyana (UG) enabled 25 law graduates from UG automatic placement in the Hugh Wooding Law School in Trinidad and Tobago, and government recently shared ambitions to have this number increased.

“The Council however, recently took the decision that UG’s 2014 batch will not be guaranteed any place at the institution,”
