CLIC Visits

The Caribbean Law Institute Centre (CLIC) conceptualized, and over the past year executed, a program of “country visits” by a 2-person Team to Member States of the Caribbean Community. The purpose of these visits was to stimulate discussion on acceptance of the appellate jurisdiction of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ).

 The Team, consisting of Professor Simeon McIntosh and Professor Winston Anderson, visited 10 of the 12 CARICOM states participating in the CARICOM Single Market and Economy, (CSME) namely: Belize (March 9-12, 2009); Grenada (May 14- 15, 2009); Antigua and Barbuda (November 26-28, 2009); Jamaica (January 20-23, 2010); St. Vincent and the Grenadines (February 11-13, 2010); Dominica (February 18-19, 2010); Suriname (March 7-11, 2010); St. Kitts and Nevis (March 25-27, 2010); St. Lucia (March 31-April 1, 2010); and Trinidad and Tobago (April 14-15, 2010). The other two CSME participants, Barbados and Guyana, had previously accepted the CCJ’s appellate jurisdiction. They were therefore spared a visitation by the CLIC Team.
