THE cream of the crop in terms of leaders and senior members of judiciaries throughout the Caribbean are expected to attend a ceremonial sitting of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) on June 3 at Queen's Hall, St Ann's to honour the court's president Justice Adrian Saunders, who is retiring.

Barbadian-born Saunders is retiring after 20 years of service at the CCJ, including seven years as its president.

The CCJ is the final court of appeal for some Caricom member states, replacing the United Kingdom’s Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in civil and criminal matters.
