The Cayman Islands Law School Graduation recently took place at the Marriott Hotel on West Bay Road.

In his opening remarks to the proud graduates and invited guests, Mitchell Davies, Director of Legal Studies at the School spoke of the school’s beginnings in 1982.

He said: “To the visionaries of this time, as well as to successive governments, a debt of gratitude is owed by all graduates that have left the Cayman Islands Law School, able to boast a qualification both regionally unique, and internationally recognised.”

First of the students to come forward to receive their certificates from Fiona Beveridge were the University of Liverpool, Bachelor of Laws, full-time degree graduates.

They were followed by students who had gained a degree by part-time study, in total sixteen degree-level graduates. Certificates were also presented for those who passed the Cayman Islands Law School Diploma in Legal Studies.

The Cayman Islands Bankers’ Association prize for best performance during the part-time degree programme went to Gloria Nixon, while the Sweet and Maxwell Prize for best performance in the 2004 Diploma modules went to Sharon Nelson.

Remarkably, one student, Tricia Cacho, won three of prizes, namely the Cayman Islands Chamber of Commerce Prize for best performance in the third year modules, the Tim Shea Memorial Prize for best performance in the full-time degree programme, and the Dean’s Prize of the University of Liverpool School of Law.

In her Address, Ms Cacho concluded: “Tonight is an honourable night. We worked hard, we persevered, and we are deserving of this ceremony.”
