The Student Chapter of the Caymanian Bar Association held their annual elections on 28 November 2014.

The Board of the Student Chapter consists of three student representatives, each from the (i) Undergraduate/LLB, (ii) PPC/LPC/BVC and (iii) Articled Clerk levels. Student representatives serve a term of one year and are elected each November by the Student Chapter Members.

We are pleased to announce that the Student Chapter Representatives for 2014-2015 are as follows:

Undergraduate/LLB Representative: Alicia Thompson

Alicia Thompson is currently a third year student at the Truman Bodden Law School where she is an active member of the Student Society and is currently the third year representative. Alicia is also a member of Circle K International as well as a Sunday School Teacher at the Light of the World Christian Fellowship. Moreover, as an advocate for youth empowerment and a firm believer that greatness begins from a young age, Alicia is currently working with the George Town Primary School on a platform and an award scheme to be presented to a well-rounded child whose academics are not necessarily corresponding with his or her effort.

Upon the completion of her legal education, Alicia wishes to pursue a career in Family Law. She is particularly interested in the protection of children from domestic violence as well as individuals who fall within the definition of harmful. This urge to protect children stems from her adoration of children and the realization that children are the future of our society.

PPC/LPC/BVC Representative: Angelique Howell
