Chris P. Malcolm
Chris Malcolm (Laws LLM, 2003 and Laws PhD, 2008) who currently works as a Dispute Management Practitioner in Jamaica, recently shared some memories of his career journey to inspire other CCLS alumni.
Chris noted: "Beyond the significant, and here spoke about, impact of Professor Norton, the wealth of continuing CCLS influence in my personal and professional development has included Professors George Walker, Chris Reed, Ian Walden, Loukas Mistelis, Janet Dine, Rosa Lastra, Jullian Lew, Dr Mamiko Yako-Aria and Dr Heba Shams. Each one of them included for a different reason, not necessarily because each taught me or even had significant interaction with me while I was a student there. The nature of this note would not permit me to delve into the teaching and other impact that each of these persons has had on me, even without them knowing, and perhaps, for completeness, I must chronicle in a comprehensive way my CCLS journey on another occasion and in another way."
