Late legal luminary, Time Kendall honoured by CCJ

The late legal luminary, Time H. Kendall, has been named among the CCJ
Academy for Law’s 48 exceptional Caribbean lawyers to be recognised as
‘Legendary Caribbean Legal Practitioners’ in the third instalment of the
Academy’s Eminent Caribbean Jurist series.
In a press release, the CCJ Academy of Law said the awardees are giants of the
legal profession representing historical, transitional, and contemporary epochs of
law and development in the region.
Kendall died in 1992 and was a highly respected attorney, with a reputation as an
exceptionally skilled lawyer, not just in Antigua and Barbuda, but throughout the
Caribbean.
The release said the Academy, which serves as the educational arm of the CCJ,
created the Eminent Caribbean Jurist Awards Series in 2019, as a means of
recognizing and honouring the contribution of Caribbean jurists to the law and
societal development. The legal legends were selected by the CCJ Academy-
appointed Regional Selection and Advisory Committee, which first met on 27
September 2022. Nominations were submitted from bar associations, judiciaries,
journalists, the Council for Legal Education and its law schools, other law schools
in the region, professional associations, and former Eminent Caribbean Jurists. One
hundred and fifteen nominations were received from which 48 were selected,
having regard to regional and temporal distribution.
As part of the project, a brief profile was prepared for each honoree by specially
selected essayists. These profiles will be compiled into a publication to
memorialize the contribution of these outstanding legal practitioners to the
development of law in the region. It is anticipated that the publication will be
launched and available to the public in January 2024. As with the Academy’s
previous publications, it is hoped that highlighting the lives and work of these
Caribbean legal personalities will inspire the younger generation of practitioners.
