President's Address Welcome to the Faculty of Law at Cave Hill Campus!
It is my honor to offer some remarks in my role as the 2020/2021 Law Society President. As we all know and have experienced, the previous school year was interrupted by an unpredictable pandemic that turned the Caribbean and the world over. As a society, we were unsure of our futures and our dreams. Will they still be possible? Ecclesiastics 3:7 say to us “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. A time to keep silence and a time to speak.� I stand here, before you all to assure you, that
God
gives
his
strongest
soldiers
the
toughest
battles
and
we
will
come
out
triumphant! He does not give us more than we can bear. Therefore, it is the time to press on!
I would like to extend a warm welcome to our first year students to the academic year of 2020-21, not only to The University of the West Indies, but also a hearty welcome to the Law Faculty. This academic year, a year that will be memorable, though virtual will be remembered for the 50th year mark we share as a faculty and a year of many celebrations. This year we welcome a new Dean of the Law Faculty, Dr. Mohsen Al Attar, three new academic staff members, respectively, Dr. Reid Krell, Dr. Antonius Hippolyte and Mrs. Beatrice Hamilton. This year promises to be one filled with opportunities and collaborations with the Bar Association, corporate Barbados and law firms across the Caribbean region.
Law Family, it is imperative that we work together as a team, collaborating with each other. It is the time to develop creative goals, work towards those goals and accomplish what we have set before us. It is vital, we work hard and toil the soil together to make this year successful and memorable. We are the future! Therefore, we must keep the lamp oil burning and lead the way for those that come after us.

Frequently Asked Questions 1.
What is the Law Society? The Law Society collectively refers to all students pursuing an LLB or part thereof. This is not to be confused with the Law Society's executive which is the Faculty of Law’s student government.
2. What is the grading scheme?
N.B. This grading scheme is applicable to the university at large.
27
FAQ's Honour Classifications Similar
to
the
grading
scheme,
the
Honour
Classification
is
applicable to the entire university. In Law Faculty, your first year grades do not determine the outcome nor do they contribute to your graduating Grade Point Average.)
3. If I am sick, do I have to redo a course? In the event you are sick or are unable to write your final exam, you
MAY
qualify to sit the supplemental exam as opposed to redoing
the course. The Board of Examiners may exercise their discretion and allow students to sit supplemental exams if the circumstance have merit. However, the Faculty has a strict policy as it relates to supplemental
exams,
and
will
usually
only
grant
a
request
for
supplemental exams where
a 3rd year student has failed a course.
The
sit
student
is
allowed
to
a
maximum
of
two
supplemental
examinations for courses offered in the current academic year.
Please visit Student Resources on the Faculty of Law's webpage to access the supplemental exams request form and requisite medical certificate .
28
FAQ's 4. What is Mooting? Mooting is a mock court trial where you and your co-counsel present your case to a bench of judges. The
(CGF) Moot
Clarke, Gittens and Farmer
is a moot competition hosted by the Law Society in
partnership with the Clarke, Gittens and Farmer Law firm. Students partner and compete in a Court of Appeal model trial and the winners of CGF moot can gain prizes and future opportunities from the firm. Participating in this moot allows you to gain the advantage of experience if one decided to take
International Mooting.
If you are interested in learning to moot, we suggest you attend the Moot Club's meetings. For more information, feel free to contact our Education and Moot Chairperson or visit
'Mooting' on the Faculty of
Law's webpage.
5. How do I become part of the Law Society Executive? There are 16 positions on the executive. The majority of the positions are filled by election, but there are a few roles filled by appointment. The executive officers conduct interviews and will choose the best suited candidate.
6. Can a student hold more than one position on the Law Society Executive? The election guidelines state one person cannot vie for or serve in two positions on the Law Society executive simultaneously.
29
FAQ's 7. What happens if I fail a subject but I don't qualify for a supplemental? If you fail a subject, you will have to redo the course in order to graduate. You may opt to do it in the successive academic year, or you may wait until your final academic year to redo the course. The course will be taken in addition to the other subjects you are required to do for that academic year.
E.g. Â If
you fail Law and Legal Systems in Semester 1 of first year, you
are able to do it in Semester 1 of second year or Semester 1 of third year. You are required to redo the subject and obtain a passing grade in order to receive your LLB.
8. Do I have to pay to redo the subject? You are required to pay to redo a subject.
9. How can I query my exam mark? Queries re examination marks may be discussed with the lecturer. There is also the option of paying to have your paper remarked. See 'Student
Resources'
on
the
Faculty
of
Law's
webpage
for
the
'Application for a Discussion' and 'Application for Remark' forms.
30
FAQ's 10. How do I make a complaint about a lecturer or a problem I have encountered in the faculty? We recommend reporting the issue to your year representative. They will advise you on how the issue can be remedied. In the event they are not properly equipped to address the issue, it will be addressed at the Joint Consultive Committee (JCC) meeting. Here the Faculty's staff representatives meet with the Law Society executive on student matters and issues. If a solution cannot be provided thereafter, then this committee will reconvene and present the issue to the academic board
meeting
where
the
President
meets
with
the
academic
administration of the university.
11. Am I able to contact the deputy Dean and other faculty officials without going through the Law Society? You are free to contact faculty officials if you are experiencing any issues,
or
have
any
questions
or
concerns.
Please
contact
your
lecturers and tutors directly if it is to notify them about your absence or any related matter that requires their attention. If your concern is academic
or
faculty
related,
please
direct
them
to
your
year
representative. They will be addressed as outlined in the question above.
31
FAQ's 12. Do I get an exemption for any of my foundational courses? The Faculty usually does not grant exemptions, but they can be if the situation merits one. For example, though you may have gotten a grade 1 in CAPE Caribbean Studies, you are still required to do FOUN
Caribbean
Civilization.
Failure
to
pass
any
foundational
course will result in you having to retake the course in order to receive your LLB.
If you wish to be exempted, complete and return the exemption forms which can be found under 'Student Resources' on the Faculty of Law's webpage.
13. Do I have to pay for the legal research resources? Apart from printing and copying, you do not have to pay to use the Law Library or any of the e-resources such as LexisNexis, Westlaw, or Carilaw. To log into these resources you are required to use your Student ID and passcode.
