A scan of the current Parliament shows that about 36% of members are lawyers. There is a view, and BU agrees, that the influence which the legal community exerts on the way we do business in Barbados is worthy of a deep discussion.
Please add to comments the names of lawyers (still active) you know have served in a political capacity. The qualification extends to sitting on government boards quasi and otherwise. i.e. post their name and the position held.
The final number should be interesting if we consider that we have about 600 practicing lawyers in Barbados.
