In a significant milestone for Jamaica’s legal community, the Norman Manley Law School celebrated the formal induction of its latest cohort of graduates into the legal profession on December 15, 2025. Presided over by Justice Ann-Marie Smith, the ceremonial proceedings at the Supreme Court represented the culmination of rigorous academic and practical training required for legal practice in Jamaica.
The call to the bar ceremony serves as both a professional rite of passage and official authorization for graduates to practice law within Jamaican jurisdictions. This traditional proceeding acknowledges the completion of intensive legal education and prepares new attorneys for their upcoming roles within the justice system.
Four distinguished graduates received formal recognition during the ceremony: Ravi Davis, Tia Dunnah, Rhynyce Robinson, and Sage Quinn. Each graduate has successfully navigated the demanding curriculum of the Norman Manley Law School, widely regarded as the Caribbean’s premier institution for legal education.
The event underscores Jamaica’s ongoing commitment to maintaining high standards within its legal profession while ensuring a steady influx of qualified practitioners to serve the nation’s judicial needs. Family members, faculty, and established legal professionals attended the ceremony to witness the transition of these graduates from academic scholars to practicing officers of the court.
