The University Council of Jamaica (the UCJ) has granted accreditation to the LL.B programme offered by the University of Technology (UTech), a move that is expected to assist in the establishment of a law school at the tertiary institution. The decision of the UCJ to grant accreditation to the UTech's LL.B programme was formally conveyed to Professor Stephen Vasciannie, president of the university, in a letter dated October 6 from the UCJ chairman, Dr Carolyn Hayle, and the council's executive director, Althea Heron. The letter indicated that the grant of accreditation would be for the four-year period beginning July 1, 2016, which is the date on which the application was made. Photo contributed to The Gleaner.
