Rushelle Amanda Liverpool, 23, was on Monday admitted to the bar by Justice Roxanne George. The petition was presented to the court by Attorney-at-Law Sandra Kurtzious.
When the new lawyer addressed the court. she said that it was William Makepeace Thakeray who said that, “After hard work and success comes the appreciation of it”.
“Therefore permit me, Your Honour, to thank the individuals who have been at the centre of my achievement.
“I am grateful to God for playing such a pivotal role in my life. It is because of God’s guidance, help and strength that I stand before this honourable court prepared to assume the roles and responsibilities of an attorney at law.”
Throughout this experience, Liverpool added, she had tremendous assistance from her family.
“I thank them for their unwavering support and many, many, many sacrifices.”
She promised to uphold the ethics, rights and responsibilities of the profession.
Liverpool added that as she embarks on the journey of the practice of law she will remember the words of Mr. Nageshwar Prasad, ex-judge Patna High Court “Professional Ethics” who said: “Besides attaining intellectual heights, a great lawyer has to rise in moral stature. His honesty should be unquestioned and unquestionable. No temptation should move him for his path of rectitude. No favour or frowns should be able to deflect him from his duties to the client and to the court …He should be cool, collected, sweet in his language and manner towards his client and court…tolerant to his adversary.”
“This is the type of attorney-at-law I aim to be and will never stop growing in my learning of the law so that I can truly provide quality service to the clients and honour my duties to the court”.
