DEAN’S MESSAGE

Professor Rose-Marie Belle Antoine
Dean, Faculty of Law

I write to congratulate you on the successful initiative of a magazine tailored to meet
the needs of the vibrant student law body that now exists at the Faculty of Law, St.
Augustine. My vision of a successful law student is one who is in tune to his or her
society, the serious issues that need to be contemplated, but also, the lighter aspects
of social encounter. I hope that your magazine, St. Augustine Legal Affairs (STALA), can
promote both of these vital elements of the well rounded law student. This in turn, I
know, will help to inculcate the kind of model lawyer that I would like our new faculty
to create. In these pages, I encourage you to interrogate pressing social concerns,
have lively interviews, inform us of new perspectives and simply, allow us to laugh,
to have fun. The establishment of this magazine is but one more step to our quest
to become a premier institution, not only in the UWI, but in the region and beyond.
I wish you every success as you build on this worthy goal. Congratulations.
Professor Rose-Marie Belle Antoine
Dean, Faculty of Law
