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.

Part 2: Hugh Wooding Law School: The Seminar System

The seminar system comprises small classes incorporating both lecture and tutorial

styled instruction based on the preference of the instructor. Each class will be 2 hours

long and allows for a more personalised learning experience. Students may be

grouped into Seminar groups based on their territories.

1st Year: The year is divided into three academic terms. Seven courses are done during the first

year. These are:

Criminal Practice and Procedure I

Civil Practice and Procedure I (Includes Family Practice and

Procedure)

Law of Remedies

Legal Drafting and Interpretation

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

training, which would be assessed by the employer and submitted to the school. You

Legal Aid involves direct interaction with the public through client interviewing and

management of client files. Students are assigned a supervisor who grades their

performance based on their progress with their case file. There are also specialist

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.

Part 6: Hugh Wooding Law School: Sports and Entertainment

Hugh Wooding Law School (HWLS) is well known for its extra-curricular activities which provide a balance between academic and physical fitness. Students have used extra-curricular activities as a vehicle to relax, avoid stress and tension.

Due to the diverse makeup of the student body each territory is given the opportunity 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. If you are feeling bored on weekends you may want to visit the following areas: Trinidad Tobago

Asa Wright Nature Centre Buccoo Reef

Caroni Bird Sanctuary Fort King George

Emperor Valley Zoo Nylon Pool

Gasparee Caves

Maracas Beach

Pitch Lake

Point-a-Pierre Wild Fowl Trust

The highlight of Trinidads entertainment calendar is its world renowned carnival

festivities, which culminate on February 16th and 17th 2015. However, you will remain

thoroughly entertained throughout the year by the numerous cultural events, clubs

and lounges that comprise Trinidads vibrant nightlife.
