There's a new judge on the Caribbean Court of Justice.
He's the Trinidadian jurist, Peter Jamar, and he was officially sworn in yesterday by the President of Trinidad and Tobago.
He previously served as a judge of the Appeal Court of Trinidad and Tobago and is highly qualified with judgments that have been cited with approval by judges of both the CCJ and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
He will succeeds Justice David Hayton, who will be retiring from the CCJ after 14 years of service.
Judges of the CCJ are appointed to hold office until they reach the age of 72, and each president holds office for a non-renewable term of 7 years.
