Caribbean Court of Justice

Yasmin Morais, Library Resident here at Georgetown Law Library, has published a guide to the Caribbean Court of Justice.

In the guide, Yasmin explains that the CCJ is "a new court which was inaugurated on April 16, 2005 in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. The court is expected to serve as a court of last resort for Caribbean states, eventually replacing the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the United Kingdom."

The guide includes sections on the court's history, current operations, justices and judgments.  It also includes a bibliography of resources about the court and the Caribbean judicial system.

I was discussing the law in the Caribbean with a friend only the other day. She said that there were only 6 justices in the whole court system and I kept saying it was 7. We nearly argued and thanks to your site I was able to prove to her that I was correct indeed.
