Jamaican to be sworn in as CCJ judge
Tuesday, June 15, 2010
THE Caribbean Court of Justice will have its first Jamaican on the bench when Professor Charles Winston Anderson is sworn in as a judge at King's House today.
Professor Anderson, who is the executive director of the Caribbean Law Institute Centre in the law faculty at the University of the West Indies (UWI), was selected by the Regional Judicial and Legal Services Commission which is based in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, where he will take up his appointment.
Prime Minister Bruce Golding will deliver a short address after Professor Anderson is sworn in by Governor General, Sir Patrick Allen.
Professor Anderson was born in Brittonville, St Ann and attended the Ferncourt High and St Andrew Technical High schools. He is a holder of a Bachelor of Law degree from the University of the West Indies and a Doctorate in Philosophy in International and Environmental Law from the University of Cambridge. He has been called to the Bar in England, Barbados and Jamaica.
He was appointed lecturer at the Cave Hill-based law faculty in 1994, and later appointed professor in 2006. Professor Anderson served on secondment from UWI as General Counsel of the Caribbean Community for three years between 2003 and 2006.
Professor Anderson has written extensively on International Law, Private International Law and Environmental Law. His major publications include The Law of Caribbean Marine Pollution, Elements of Private International Law and Private International Family Law.
