From January 26th – 28th 2023, the CAJO, in partnership with the Judicial Reform and Strengthening (JURIST) Project, facilitated an intensive three-day judicial training programme for judicial officers of the Supreme Court of Barbados.

The training programme, Achieving Goals, Meeting Expectations: A Deep Dive Exploration, explored topics such as Judicial Leadership, Accountability, and Responsibility, Civil and Criminal Case Management, Setting and Sustaining Performance Standards, and Issue-Drive Approaches to Civil Case Management and Decision-making.

• Justice Adrian Saunders, President of the Caribbean Court of Justice
• Justice Peter Jamadar, Judge of the Caribbean Court of Justice and Chair of the CAJO
• Justice Charmaine Pemberton, Judge of the Court of Appeal of Trinidad and Tobago
