FIVE prominent judges have been appointed to serve on a soon-to-be-established Ministerial Council of Legal Advisors, Minister of State and Cabinet Secretary Joseph Harmon announced on Thursday.

During his post-Cabinet press briefing, Harmon said Cabinet has approved the establishment of the Ministerial Council comprising Justice Duke Pollard, Justice James Patterson, Justice Claudette Singh, Professor Harold Lutchman and Professor Harold James.
Harmon told reporters on Thursday that the Ministerial Council will “provide legal analyses and advice on the development of the justice sector, the government’s legislative agenda and litigation matters, to

have an input in legal policy design and to engage stakeholders with interest in the justice sector where appropriate.”
He said too that the Council will be assisted in the execution of its mandate by support staff from the Ministry of Legal Affairs.
