This collection of speeches provides an opportunity to benefit from the excellent intellect, research and reasoning that make the author one of the leading contemporary judicial and legal thinkers in the Caribbean. It is replete with case law and legal reasoning, and addresses topics which could guide judicial and legal deliberations on many issues. Desiree Bernard also examines the role of women in the home, the society, and the legal profession, with characteristic and incisive humour. These writings are of historical significance in that many of them commemorate milestones in the evolution of Guyanese law in particular, and CARICOM law in general.
