Guyana Legal Aid Clinic mourns passing Justice Desiree Bernard
Dear Editor,
The Guyana Legal Aid Clinic was deeply saddened to learn of Justice Bernard’s death on 28 March 2024.
Among Justice Bernard’s numerous firsts – first female puisne judge, judge of appeal, Chief Justice and Chancellor of Guyana, and one of the first judges of the Caribbean Court of Justice – is that she was the first chairperson of the Guyana Legal Aid Clinic. Justice Bernard was a founder member of the clinic and chairperson from its establishment in February 1993 until May 2001, when she left to join the bench of the CCJ.
She guided the clinic through its early years with the same wisdom, composure and commitment to the rule of law that she always exhibited on the various benches on which she sat. She remained a member of the clinic until her death. The clinic extends deepest sympathy to Justice Bernard’s family and friends.
Regards,
Guyana Legal Aid Clinic
