In a heartfelt tribute, Arthur Dash, a junior counsel who has worked alongside Senior Counsel Israel Khan for over 24 years, celebrates Khan’s recent accolade—an honorary Doctor of Laws (LLD) degree from the University of TT. This prestigious honor recognizes Khan’s exceptional contributions to the legal profession, particularly his distinguished advocacy at the Criminal Bar of TT and his 38-year tenure as a tutor at the Hugh Wooding Law School (HWLS).
Khan, a 1979 graduate of HWLS, was appointed Senior Counsel in 2000. His career has been marked by brilliance, moral courage, and an unwavering commitment to justice. In 2024, HWLS honored him as one of seven distinguished Caribbean luminaries during its 50th anniversary celebrations.
Dash, who has witnessed Khan’s legal prowess firsthand, describes him as a shining example for young attorneys. Khan’s dedication to justice and his profound impact on the legal field make this honorary degree a well-deserved recognition. Dash extends his heartfelt congratulations to Khan for this remarkable achievement.
