Michael Bromby gave a conference paper to the American-Caribbean Law Initiative (ACLI) at their 2021 annual law clinic and conference.

The conference theme was “Managing Social Crisis While Delivering Justice Through Law, Technology & Teaching: A Look Ahead”.

Michael’s paper, entitled “The new normal: But what was normal to begin with?”, focused on the Covid and post-Covid effects on legal education in the Cayman Islands for both the student body and the teaching staff.

Concepts of normal, the new normal and the cost/benefit analysis of how higher education institutions have reacted to social crises were explored in today’s pandemic and in comparison to other forms of economic turn-down or natural disasters, which have led to enrolment resurgence as well as changes to the delivery of education.

The Professional Practice Course students had their annual class on the ins and outs of the Cayman Islands’ Anti-Money Laundering provisions last week at the Truman Bodden Law School. The class, delivered by Sandra Edun-Watler, Head of Compliance & Reporting Services at Mourant Governance Services, ensures the students become familiar with a topic that is at the forefront of legal services in the Islands.

Scott Atkins, Deputy Director & PPC Course Leader, said: ‘The Anti-Money Laundering class is a permanent fixture of the PPC. Together with a new suite of subjects which will be offered for the first time on this year’s Course, the class is a way to ensure that Caymanian students are truly prepared for entering legal practice here. Our Course was recently revalidated by our partners at Oxford Brookes University (UK) for another five years and goes from strength to strength, offering a programme which can really match and exceed comparable courses offered in the UK.’
