Professor Justice Courtney Abel, law dean at the University of Guyana, has just won another major regional honor—the 2026 OCCBA Award for Distinguished Service to the Legal Profession and Judiciary—joining his recent Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society of Caribbean Lawyers. Celebrated by sixteen Caribbean bar associations, this recognition highlights his decades-long work strengthening legal independence, uniting Caribbean lawyers, and championing regional self-determination. From serving on Belize’s Supreme Court to mentoring students at Guyana’s law school, Abel blends courtroom experience with a vision of lawyers as thoughtful architects of justice, urging future attorneys to understand society’s history and their role in shaping its legal destiny.
