Announcing that the Council for Legal Education (CLE) is now saying that no permission was ever given to Guyana to establish its own law school, the Attorney General’s Chambers last evening blamed former attorney-general (AG) Anil Nandlall and now retired Chancellor of the Judiciary Carl Singh for the turn of events.
“New Chairman of the Council of Legal Education (CLE) Reginald Armour of Trinidad and Tobago is relying on a report of a Review Committee which included former Chancellor Carl Singh, to now say that the CLE never gave permission to Guyana to establish its own Law School after decades in the belief of the Guyanese legal fraternity,” the AG’s Chambers said in a five-page statement yesterday.
It also informed that while efforts are being made to have a feasibility study done, Armour is yet to formally honour Guyana’s request for the criteria to operate a law school and has raised some other purported concerns of the Review Committee.
