Introduction

Welcome to the Hugh Wooding Law
School!
The Hugh Wooding Law School
opened its doors to its first students in
September 1973. Much like its sister
schools - the Norman Manley Law
School in Jamaica and the Eugene
Dupuch Law School in Bahamas - the
Hugh Wooding Law School prepares
its students for admission to practice
law in Commonwealth Caribbean
territories.
The Hugh Wooding Law School is
named after an illustrious jurist of the
campus territory, Sir Hugh Wooding.
The Law School has proven itself time
and again to be one of the premier
institutions in the Caribbean as it has
produced some of the most
distinguished lawyers in the
Commonwealth Caribbean. The Law
Schools recent successes in several
regional and international mooting
and client interviewing competitions
has proven the calibre of persons who
attend this prestigious institution.







Students from Barbados, Guyana,
Trinidad and Tobago and the
Organisation of Eastern Caribbean
States (OECS) are admitted as
students to this institution. Entrance
to the law school is very competitive
to ensure that the school maintains a
certain standard.
The Hugh Wooding Law School
provides an extraordinary experience
for those privileged to attend. In
addition to its rich history and its
many accomplishments, the School is
always ready to embark on new
enterprises such as the new seminar
system which is geared towards more
interaction between students and
lecturers.
In order to improve the learning
experience of its students, the HWLS
employs the use of technology and
modern teaching aids.
The Hugh Wooding Law School gives
Caribbean personalities a chance to
interact with each other, form
friendships and foster Caribbean
development.

community of astute legal minds, and we
value your contributions and participation.

will be challenging, we hope and trust that
you will enjoy the entire Law School

yourself this year, and to take advantage of
all that our Law School has to offer. You are
the reason we are all hereand we want to
help you make the most of your time with
us.

It is our vision to create a Law Family, a
family that neglects none of its members,

way possible and that fosters the growth of
every member in every facet of their
development. It is our aim to achieve all our
initiatives with the input of each and every

comments, suggestions, critiques, advice
and/or any form of input from the student

our student body. As such I implore you to
get involved. Be a part of the SRC. Be a part

long and allows for a more personalised learning experience. Students may be
grouped into Seminar groups based on their territories.

Trial Advocacy
The first 6 courses are examinable. Exams take place at the end of the each academic
year at Law School usually in May. Trial Advocacy is a highly practical course consisting
of lectures on advocacy and court etiquette upon which subsequent oral assessments
are based. Included are court visits where students will be required to attend court
and observe procedure, practice and court etiquette.

At the end of the first year, students are required to complete ten weeks of in service

clinics in areas such as corporate and human rights law where students are sent to
private firms or companies to undertake their clinical practice.

Assignments (Years One and Two).
1. Assignments are given fortnightly.

assignments would also have additional oral evaluations.

to present its culture in a concert and dinner, offering the cultural and culinary
diversity of that territory. Currently there is Bajan (Barbados) Night, Guyana Night,
Trinbago (Trinidad and Tobago) Night and our recent addition, OECS Night. The SRC
contributes to each night equally.



The SRC also sponsors the annual Sports Day where teams compete with each other.
Each team has to be comprised of one first year tutorial group and a second year
tutorial group. Points are awarded for each event.

During the course of the academic year, four sports tournaments would be held by
the SRC, namely:
30
Basketball
Table tennis
Football
Cricket
These tournaments are geared towards providing an avenue for students to interact
and connect while at the same time competing. Also year round, there will be a
Saturday Sweat where football and basketball would be played. Chess would also
be introduced on the same day. A vibrant games night would also be arranged twice
every term.

The Hike is also an opportunity for students to explore the rich natural atmosphere
that Trinidad and Tobago has to offer. It also tests your fitness and endurance. Join
the experience!

Boot camp is another area where students can explore to heights of their mental
and physical fitness.
