Higgs & Johnson awarded its ‘Pursuit of Excellence’, scholarship this year to Mr. Jaron Leslie. Mr. Leslie, the holder of a LLB (Hons) degree, as well as other academic degrees and accolades, will be undertaking the Professional Practice Course (PPC) offered by the Truman Bodden Law School in the Cayman Islands.

Gina M. Berry, Country Managing Partner noted, “We took note of Jaron’s achievements to date, which are truly laudable; and trust that our vote of confidence will provide added encouragement, enabling him to complete this important step in his professional development.” Ms. Berry went on to note that she had no doubt that Mr. Leslie would blaze new trails as an attorney-at-law.

The Pursuit of Excellence award was started in 2011 and is, among other things, based on academic achievement, community involvement and commitment to all-round excellence. Previous scholarship recipient, Ms. Ridhiima Kapoor, is a respected member of the legal profession and Caymanian community.
