Newly admitted attorney-at-law Jamal Duff, who hopes to someday work with the Environmental Protection Agency in the area of Environmental Law, had his petition successfully presented to Acting Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire on Wednesday.
Presenting on Duff’s behalf were attorneys-at-law Ronald Burch-Smith and Mark Waldron at the Supreme Court. Chief Justice George-Wiltshire, in her admission remarks, stated that she was familiar with the young attorney’s family through mutual friendship and took the opportunity to congratulate the new member’s family on his success. The Chief Justice noted that Duff’s Curriculum Vitae states that he is ambitious, dedicated and self-motivated. These values are expected to be practiced and be committed to during his years within the profession, the Chief Justice advised. She also informed the new member of the bar that while the temptation to be lackadaisical and follow the crowd will be easy, he must remain dedicated; he was also advised to be honest and respectful as he carries out his work.
