      Smartie that only applies to a CV or resume. Beyond that there is no prescribed way of listing the information. It can be listed in chronological order or reverse chronological order as on the resume. Don't act as if they did something wrong by listing the past first.

    Dear Justice Charls You have been an inspiration to me. Can I come with you please?? Even when you send people to prison they knew that you were fair. I heard Clifton Stoutt (of all people) saying good things about you. You listen to people and for that, the BVI must be truly graetful to you. One day we hope you will return but as you depart our shores, au revoir and good luck. I will shed a tear or two. Dont forget us.

    This is the second senior judge who is leaving the Eastern Caribbean Court. Is someone enquiring as to why this is happending. You just dont allow other islands to take away your good judges. Where is the Bar Association in all of this. I heard Justice Benjamin left a few motnhs ago. SoMETHING fishy in happening. Justice Charles - can you shed some light in this mysterious move.!!!

      As a judge being part of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court it's not up to you to decide to stay it's where you're needed. Justice Charles best of luck in all your future endeavors

    The outpouring for this judge has been so tremendous that I really would like to meet her. I have heard a great deal of good things but cannot believe that no one has made a negative comment. That takes a lot of class. I wonder if she will ever run for poltical office. Bahamas -here comes our beauty????

      Wow, Black boy. The woman is truy exceptional. Say thanks to her because she did a damn good job. She is fair and fearless and really she is the best to grace this nation. Not everyone wwill like judges because someone has to lose in their court but when some many people praise a judge, something must be truly great about her. Good luck judge. May god continue to bless you.
