An Introduction to the Law of Succession. Kingston, Jamaica: Norman Manley Law School, 1994
Many "areas of recent editions of students' and practitioners' textbooks, most of which are written and published in England, have become irrelevant to our West Indian/Caribbean territories because of changes in the law in England and in our several jurisdictions."
Commonwealth Legal Education Conference (12th: 1998: Ocho Rios, Jamaica)
12th Commonwealth Legal Education Conference: Conference Papers. Kingston: West Indian Law Journal, [1998]
“Significantly, the theme of the conference was ‘Legal Education: 2000 and Beyond’ as we were all of the view that we should harness the intellectual and research capabilities of Commonwealth educators who possessed a vision of change in a world where technological advances are proceeding apace and is not often shared by countries with lesser resources both human and financial.”
Vasciannie, Stephen
International Law and Selected Human Rights in Jamaica. Kingston, Jamaica: Norman Manley Law School, 2002
This book “examines a subset of human rights issues that have assumed particular significance in the country. The right to life and freedom from cruel and inhuman punishment, safeguarded in some senses in the Jamaican Constitution, remain profoundly important not least because they are so often believed to be violated in practice. Similarly, the rights to health, work and education, though respected at the rhetorical level, and given support in governmental initiatives, arguably remain theoretical postulates for numerous Jamaicans.”
