Campbells is proud to sponsor the St. Ignatius Catholic School – Cayman Islands AS and A-Level law programme, which promotes the profession of law with the youth in our community. Campbells has been involved in the programme, which is facilitated through the Truman Bodden Law School – Cayman Islands, since 2013 and adds value to the programme by actively participating in the schedule of events for the students. This includes job talks and mentoring with our attorneys, a tour of the courts, a moot competition, which also takes place in the courts and an essay competition.

Dr. Derek O’Brien, TBLS senior lecturer, has just been appointed member of the Project Advisory Board for a project entitled The Visible Crown: Queen Elizabeth II and the Caribbean, 1952 to the present.

The project, which is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council in the UK, has been awarded a grant of £1 million. The project brings together a research team based in the UK and at the University of West Indies, and from the disciplines of History, Oral History, Literature and the Political Sciences. Project partners include the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, University of West Indies Museum, National Caribbean Heritage Museum, the Historical Association.

In addition to co-editing the Oxford Handbook of Caribbean Constitutions published by Oxford University Press in July 2020, Dr. O’Brien has also penned a chapter in another new book, titled Liberal Ideals and the Politics of Decolonisation (edited by H. Kumarasingham) that has recently been published by Routledge Press. Dr O’Brien’s chapter is about the endurance of the Crown and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the postcolonial constitutional orders of the Commonwealth Caribbean. The chapter was first published in a special issue of the Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History, which is the pre-eminent journal in its field.
