Trial by judge alone is a fairly new practice in The Bahamas. To ensure our students are well equipped to navigate trials by jury and trials by judge alone, we hosted the panel "Judge Alone: Perspective on Trial Without Jury in The Bahamas" on February 12th, 2026. During the panel, students heard real-life instances of cases that did and did not employ a trial by jury, including the benefits and drawbacks to both.

We extend a heartfelt gratitude to the panelists for sharing their experiences and knowledge! Panelists included: Dame Anita Allen, DBE, former President of the Court of Appeal of The Bahamas and Law Reform Commissioner; The Hon. Mr. Justice Jon Isaacs (ret.), former President of the Court of Appeal of The Bahamas; Md. Darnell Dorsette, Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions, Department of Public Prosecutions; and Mr. Stanley Rolle, Chief Public Defender, Office of the Public Defender, Bahamas.

In collaboration with the Small Business Development Centre (SBDC), the Eugene Dupuch Law School hosted Mind Your Business: Small Business Legal Workshop, empowering entrepreneurs with essential legal knowledge to better protect and grow their businesses.

Participants explored business structures, contracts, intellectual property, and key legal risks, followed by a dynamic Q&A and complimentary legal consultations. A valuable session focused on building smarter, stronger businesses.

Three students from the Corporate and Commercial Law Specialist Clinic had the opportunity to attend the InspireHER Conference hosted by Cable Bahamas. It was a unique opportunity to connect with female leaders in business and gain insight into the mindset of the executives they hope to one day advise.
