The Government of Antigua and Barbuda is pleased to announce that it will host the bi-annual meeting of the Executive Committee of the Council of Legal Education (CLE) on Friday 30th and Saturday 31st January 2026. The meeting will take place at the St. James Club and Villas.

The Council of Legal Education, established more than 50 years ago, is responsible for ensuring the training of competent legal professionals across the region while upholding the highest ethical and professional standards. The Executive Committee serves as the Council’s principal administrative and strategic body, overseeing Caribbean legal education, managing the affairs of regional law schools, and guiding long-term planning initiatives.

During the two-day high-level meeting, members of the Executive Committee, along with Attorneys General from across the region, will engage in strategic discussions aimed at strengthening the operations of the Council’s law schools and advancing the overall mission of legal education in the Caribbean. The Committee will also address key administrative, financial, and regulatory matters on behalf of the Council.

Minister of Legal Affairs and Attorney General, the Hon. Sir Steadroy “Cutie” Benjamin, expressed his pleasure that Antigua and Barbuda have been selected to host such a prestigious gathering. He reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to promoting excellence and integrity within the legal profession.

Antigua and Barbuda continue to produce high-performing law students who excel at regional law schools. Many graduates have gone on to become outstanding legal practitioners, serving within the Ministry of Legal Affairs as well as in private practice locally and throughout the region.

The Government of Antigua and Barbuda looks forward to the successful hosting of the Executive Committee meeting and to further strengthening its contribution to the development of legal education in the Caribbean.
