Law Association examining video of attorney abusing LAAA staff

The Law As­so­ci­a­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go is gath­er­ing in­for­ma­tion af­ter video record­ings show­ing a woman, be­lieved to be an at­tor­ney-at-law, ver­bal­ly abus­ing staff at the Le­gal Aid and Ad­vi­so­ry Au­thor­i­ty (LAAA) cir­cu­lat­ed on so­cial me­dia.

In a me­dia re­lease, the As­so­ci­a­tion said it was aware of record­ings of the No­vem­ber 11 in­ci­dent at the LAAA's Port of Spain head of­fice and had en­gaged with the Au­thor­i­ty while gath­er­ing the rel­e­vant facts.

The video re­port­ed­ly shows a fe­male at­tor­ney di­rect­ing a bar­rage of in­sults and ob­scen­i­ties at em­ploy­ees, ap­par­ent­ly over the un­avail­abil­i­ty of a form which she was ex­pect­ed to ob­tain on­line.
