Introducing Caribbean Oil and Gas LawThe Faculty of Law at The UWI St. Augustine campus is keen to develop Oil and Gas law because it addresses an area that is critical to the developmental needs of the Caribbean region and Trinidad and Tobago in particular. In the second semester of the 2013-2014 academic year, Mrs. Alicia Elias-Roberts, law lecturer with a Masters in Energy, Environment and Natural Resource Law from the University of Houston, was key in developing an Oil and Gas Law course that was offered at The UWI for the first time. Currently the Faculty of Law is organising its inaugural conference and workshop on Oil and Gas Law with the support of bpTT. This conference and workshop, themed: “Introducing Caribbean Oil and Gas Law: Emerging legal issues in a time of Oil Price volatility,” is extremely important to the Faculty and one that will have regional appeal. It would be of particular interest to lawyers, students, government, workers in the energy industry and members of civil society interested in this area. The conference takes place at the Hyatt Regency, Port of Spain on Thursday 30th April 30 and Friday May 1 from 8am-4pm on both days. The deadline for registration is April 25, and the costs are as follows:
