The subject of public law is central to the practice of good democratic governance and to the success of CARICOM\u2019s Single Market and Economy. The Public Law programme aims to provide legal practitioners, magistrates, senior public servants and other qualified persons with advanced training and a deeper understanding of issues in the core subjects of Constitutional and Administrative Law, in addition to others relevant to the regulation of public authorities, so as to enable them to represent their clients more effectively before the courts. The programme also seeks to equip candidates with the capacity to render more enlightened decisions in the discharge of their offices as senior managers of the public service and to give adequate and effective legal and policy advice to governments and other clients.
