Two newly admitted Attorneys to the Bar have vowed to serve in their positions with much integrity.
Attorneys-at-Law from left: Ms. Simone Ramlall, Denise Onica Hodge, Madame Justice Roxanne George and Sandia Rebekah Harold-Ramnarine.
Attorneys Sandia Rebekah Harold-Ramnarine and Denise Onica Hodge have said that they are committed to serving their profession in a respectful and diligent manner.
Mrs. Harold-Ramnarine was admitted to the Bar on October 10 and her Petition was presented by Mr. Bernard De Santos (Senior Counsel) and granted by Justice Nareshwar Harnanan.
The former student of St Joseph’s High is a Certificated Accountant Technician (CAT) and an Association of Chartered Certificate Accountant (ACCA) affiliate.
At the Hugh Wooding Law School, Trinidad, she was elected and served as the Treasurer for the Student Representative Council.
Mrs. Harold-Ramnarine played an active role in the planning and execution of various school activities such as Guyana Night which displayed the rich Guyanese culture and heritage to the other contingents of the Law School. The Attorney has however expressed that she isn’t “all work and no play.”
She is the Director of WIST Dance Ministries International and a former member of the National School of Dance and Nitrageet Dance group.
And, the petition for Denise Onica Hodge was presented by Ms. Simone Ramlall on October 3 and granted by Madame Justice Roxanne George.
The 31-year-old attended Sacred Heart Primary and received her secondary education at St. Rose’s High School.
She attended the University of Guyana and obtained a Bachelor’s of Arts Degree in History before embarking on her legal studies. After securing a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) Degree, she later successfully concluded studies at the Hugh Wooding Law School.
She said, “After graduating from Law School, I worked briefly in the Chambers of Mr. Melvin Duke and also worked as a Legal Research Attaché at the Legal and Institutional Framework Unit, CARICOM Secretariat.”
“I am very pleased to be admitted into this prestigious profession. It is a great achievement resulting from hard work. I vow to uphold the morals and standards of it and to provide legal representation and advice to the people of Guyana, to the best of my skill and ability.”
“I am grateful for many persons who have been supportive throughout my studies. I thank Jesus, my Lord and Saviour for the fortitude to do it. I also thank my mom for her steadfast support as a single mother. I thank my father, other relatives and friends.”
