Time to make Anil Nandlall Senior Counsel

THE Attorney–General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Mr. Anil Nandlall, should be appointed a Senior Counsel (SC) since he has fulfilled all the requirements and beyond for such conferral to be made, which was advertised in the newspapers. Mr. Nandlall is one of the most important young intellectuals produced by the Hugh Wooding Law School in the 21st Century, and this is demonstrated in the depth and breadth of his scholarship as the holder of such an important office.
The foundation for Mr. Nandlall was laid as a student at Queen’s College, amidst a class of highly competitive colleagues where he breezed through, as well at the Hugh Wooding Law School, where he performed exceptionally well.
His acuity and integrity as an academic has brought dignity and refinement to his office, as well as to all areas of law, which is reflected in the many publications which bore his stamp, and he has demonstrated the qualities we need to move this country forward by his brilliant advocacy of the law, both in the Courts and in Parliament.
His wealth of experience, erudition, humility and genuine respect for everyone is an inspiration, which he continues to demonstrate with importance which young attorneys should try to emulate, since relationships are what life is all about.
His stellar performance as Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs since 2011, and his passion for his job has inspired many, and influenced political discourse, since he is never daunted by the forces of those who think that they are better advocates of the law, but in many instances are forced to eat back their words, so to speak.
He is best known for the passion with which he advocates his independent thoughts, since he understands the importance of a good debate, and citizen engagement in politics as a strategy of institutionalising democracy, and is never daunted by those frivolous minds who write issues of the law.
Mr. Nandall is truly an outstanding legal son of Guyana, and there is no doubt that he deserves to be conferred with Silk.
