The Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Research (SALISES) at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, Jamaica, under its flagship 50|50 research project, will host a conference entitled: LAW & JUSTICE IN THE COMMONWEALTH CARIBBEAN: The Post-Independence Experience. In observance of the fiftieth anniversary of the independent movement in the Anglophone Caribbean, the 50|50 project is designed to review the past fifty years and look ahead to the next fifty. In keeping with this concept, the Law & Justice Conference will examine law, legal institutions and justice in the context of post-independence Caribbean societies. Although law is the springboard for this conference, the themes include a variety of other disciplines which can help to explain and bring meaningful perspectives on the law as a feature of post-independence societies. Participants will include academics and researchers, legal practitioners, policy-makers, members of civil society groups who are concerned with governance and ethics, human rights, the justice system, and the role of law in development.
