Attorney General John Jeremie, SC, has urged the nation’s future lawyers to confront what he describes as a “state of anarchy” gripping TT and to dedicate their skills and intellect to restoring balance, order and the rule of law.

Jeremie warned that TT’s escalating homicide rates had placed it among the most violent countries in the world.

Delivering the keynote address at the Faculty of Law’s Evening of Excellence on October 17 at the University of the West Indies (UWI), St Augustine, Jeremie called on students to use their legal education not only for personal advancement but for national transformation.
