A brief programme chaired by Mrs Danielle McConney preceded the premiere which remarks Mr Teni Housty, Second Vice-President of the Guyana Bar Association and Mr Ruggles Ferguson, on behalf of the OECS Bar Association. As tokens of its deep appreciation, the CCJ Academy presented copies of its Legendary Caribbean Legal Practitioners to Honourable Mr Mohabir A.
