Excerpt from the Report of Senate to University Council , April 27 , 2012 . The St . Augustine Faculty of Law achieves full faculty status .
The Faculty at St . Augustine in 2011 , welcomed additions to the staff with lecturers such Dr . Sharon Le Gall and Mr . Timothy Affonso both from Trinidad and Tobago , Mrs . Alicia Elias- Roberts from Guyana and Dr . Noora Arajarvi from Finland . In 2012 , Dr . Arif Bulkan also from Guyana , Honourable Justice Rolston Nelson of the Caribbean Court of Justice and Mrs . Afiya France joined the staff at St . Augustine . With such experienced legal minds on board , the region can look forward to groundbreaking developments from the new St . Augustine Faculty of Law .
Ms . Marie Madeira , has been part of the staff at St . Augustine since its inception ( 40 years !) and can justifiably said to have “ seen it all ”. She had this to say about the expansion :
“ Now that we have instituted the three year programme at the St . Augustine campus , I feel that the Faculty is poised to make an even greater contribution to the study of Law in Trinidad and Tobago and the wider region . After my retirement in 2008 I was recalled ( temporarily ) and I must say that I was happy to be a part of this exciting development which I know will be successful given the dedication which has always been demonstrated by the staff here . I am truly proud to be a part of this expansion and I look forward to the work that lies ahead , including collaborating with you students who are vital in this progamme . My slogan for LAW is Labour all Week .”
