ANOTHER Guyanese lawyer, Miss Annette Singh, of Lusignan, has been admitted to the Bar by Justice Rishi Persaud and is expected to practise her profession in this country. Miss Singh, daughter of Mrs. Sabitri Rambharrat and Mr. Ramkarran Singh, businessman, was awarded the Legal Education Certificate on the 4th September 2009.
Since then she had been  admitted to the Trinidad & Tobago Bar and had been practicing there.
Her petition here was presented to the court by Attorney-at-law, Mr. Gary Ramlochan, to whose Chambers she will be attached.
The 27-year old lawyer obtained her Bachelor of Laws (L.L.B.) at the University of Guyana.   She also attended the Bishops’ High School.
During her in-service training, she was attached to the Attorney General Chambers, Ministry of Legal Affairs, Guyana.
In September, 2002, she was attached to the National Library ,Guyana, as Assistant Librarian.
The young lawyer stated that since childhood it was decided that she should become a lawyer, and so throughout her academic life  she worked towards fulfilling that goal.   Her parents were a driving force to ensure she had a proper education, since neither of them attended secondary school.
According to her, “After my first year at Hugh Wooding Law School, I took a year’s leave from school and worked as a legal assistant.  This helped me tremendously  during my final year at school.  The experience allowed  me to gain a greater appreciation of the law and my role as an Attorney-at-law.
Miss Singh thanked the Judge for his words of guidance, Mr. Ramlochan for presenting her petition, and her tutors for their hard work.
She also promised to live up to expectations and said that she would do all in her  power to live up to the high traditions of the bar.
Following her admission, the new lawyer and her relatives were entertained at the Judge’s Chambers.
