Justice Anderson was in Guyana on a visit primarily for the swearing in of Guyanese-born Jurist, Dr. Arif Bulkan to sit as a Judge of the CCJ.
According to a press release from the DDP’s Chambers, Justice Anderson also had a tour of the DPP’s Chambers and saw firsthand where the DPP’s lawyers are seated when appearing virtually before the CCJ. The release noted that since its inauguration 20 years ago on 16th April, 2005, the CCJ has heard 18 Criminal appeals from Guyana in which the lawyers of the DPP’s Office have been appearing in all.
ln his brief remarks, Justice Anderson expressed his delight at meeting with the DPP, with whom he discussed issues pertaining to the upcoming CCJ’s Academy for Laws’ Biennial Conference schedule for November in Port-of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.

Mrs. Ali-Hack, SC in turn, expressed her appreciation to Justice Anderson for his visit and noted that the visit presented an opportunity for the State lawyers to meet Justice Anderson, President of the CCJ, in person since they would appear before him in criminal appeals heard at the CCJ. “It has been a tradition of the legal profession for a lawyer to first be introduced to the Judges before appearance,” the DPP stated.
