TBLS QLD status confirmed until 2020

The Truman Bodden Law School of the Cayman Islands is delighted to announce that their qualifying Law degrees (LL.B Hons), both full and part time, have been re-confirmed by the United Kingdom Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) until April 30th 2020. This means that our degrees will remain ‘qualifying’ and will enable graduates a Law Degree which gives recognition to enter the practical stages of solicitor/lawyer training in the UK, Cayman Islands and any jurisdiction which recognizes UK qualifying degrees.

This follows on from the institutional visit completed by our validating body, the University of Liverpool, in April 2014. It confirms that our degree programmes are of the highest quality and compliant with UK standards. Our degree is truly a unique offering, being the only taught degree of its kind in the Caribbean region.

Five Law School Students Intern with the Department of Labour and Pensions

The Truman Bodden Law School (TBLS) and the Department of Labour and Pensions (DLP) are delighted to announce that their department collaboration has resulted in internship positions for five students.

Earlier this year, Director of the DLP Mr Mario Ebanks, Deputy Director of Labour Ms Loval Linwood and Law School Employment Lecturer Ms Leyla Jackson met to discuss the need for a case reporting system for the decisions of the Cayman Islands Labour Tribunal. This was the beginning of a project which is envisaged to allow electronic access to the decisions of the Labour Tribunal and Labour Appeals Tribunal via the Judicial.ky electronic online system. Due to the amount of work involved in this project, an additional workforce was required. It was decided that this would be an ideal learning opportunity for Employment students, or prospective Employment students of the Law School.

Under the supervision of Assistant Director Clara Smith, the interns began their placements at the end of June. TBLS students David Feare, Diana Tibbetts, Nordra Walcott and Dawn Major are currently working at the DLP performing tasks such as client interviews, filing and site inspections for Occupational Health & Safety. Next week they will commence the decision repository project, guided by Ms Smith and Ms Jackson. The interns will be joined in two weeks time by a fifth intern, Tetrina Rivers.

It is hoped that this internship programme can become a regular learning experience for students at the Law School, providing another avenue for their learning, leading to extremely capable and employable graduates. Watch this space for further updates!
