The Honorable Mr. Justice Winston Anderson JCCJ is an
exceptional addition to the staff at the University of the
West Indies St Augustine campus. He delivered his lectures in the most coherent manner thereby fostering an
easy understanding of his materials and I believe I speak
on behalf of those who studied International Trade Law
when I say that the learning experience was an enlightening one.

Those daring eyes, a bubbly vibrant personality, abundant
with knowledge, a woman of class. Her eyes are the first
thing to captivate a room and her ever inviting aura incites you to stay just right where you are.

With an easy-going persona, one was able to address Justice Anderson with any question and a detailed response
would follow. In addition, his use of the World Trade Organization (WTO) website and other mainstream sources
of information, to impart knowledge onto us made his
class one to look forward to.

She eluded somewhat of a dramatic interpretation of the
tutorial questions presented, which caught everyone’s attention. Not only was she a great tutor, she made you feel
welcome, and put in our brains that these Latin terms
should not control us, but we are in charge.

Justice Anderson showed us that in solving issues, it
was necessary to look at each point as it was critical in
addressing the problem in its entirety. His power point
presentations were succinct and very effective and before
moving forward he would question us to ensure we had a
firm understanding of the previous topic.
Also a Judge of the Caribbean Court of Justice and Executive Director of the Caribbean Law Institute Centre
(UWI), Mr. Justice Winston Anderson, is a without a
doubt an exemplar of what we as students should aspire
to be as Attorneys-at-Law. He often provided us with advice with regards to our legal careers and encouraged us
to broaden our horizons. I express thanks on behalf of
everyone for his hard work.

She tutored me Real Property, a course which was labelled
as a Real challenge. Her attitude and demeanour made the
sometimes overwhelming work load bearable.

In a course that posed much difficulty to students she had
the know-how, to push us to be excited while defeating
our intense fear of failure.
Outside of the class room she would go the extra mile to
answer the sometime repetitive questions we had.
Although she was only my tutor for one semester, she
was quite open and friendly to me, asking about my future plans.
She is indeed a woman of worth, a woman of class, an
asset to the faculty and has indeed left a lasting impression on my life.
