Summary
Bahamian judiciary faces a crisis as mandatory retirement ages force seasoned judges off the bench before they’ve peaked, sparking a brain drain that threatens institutional knowledge. Court of Appeal President Justice Milton Evans warns this loss undermines judicial quality and continuity, noting top Bahamian judges are now serving abroad where age limits don’t apply. He also recalls a failed referendum that would have allowed longer service. Meanwhile, the Court of Appeal made history with its first Grand Bahama proceedings in nearly 20 years, boosting public access to justice, and unveiled draft sentencing guidelines aimed at bringing much-needed consistency to court outcomes.
