Perspectives on Caribbean Law: A Compendium of Legal Essays - Paperback

by Shazeeda Ali (Editor), Stephen Vasciannie (Editor)

Perspectives on Caribbean Law
celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the Faculty of Law at the University of
the West Indies with an expertly curated anthology, featuring twelve insightful
chapters that explore the broad scope of legal scholarship in the Caribbean.
Authored by a mix of emerging and established academics who have been part of
MonaLaw at various stages of its evolution, these essays provide a
comprehensive view of national, regional and international challenges,
contributing significantly to the academic discourse surrounding Caribbean law.

This
peer-reviewed collection delves into a diverse range of topics such as
corporate law, tort law, international law, family law and ethics.
Specifically, it explores fundamental Caribbean legal issues, including:
CARICOM, the use of Creole in the justice system, tourism liability, sports
fairness and aspects of corporate governance, such as directors' duties. It
further explores defamation, child law on medical consent, the Caribbean
appellate court system, jurisdictional challenges concerning the Shiprider
Agreement and ethics in the legal profession.

Not
only does this anthology honour the legacy of the Faculty of Law, particularly
on the Mona campus, but it also serves as an essential contribution to
Caribbean legal scholarship by advancing the region's understanding and
development of law. Thus, Perspectives on
Caribbean Law is a crucial resource for libraries and everyone involved in
Commonwealth Caribbean law and legal education.
