Line 27: ==History== Named for Jamaican statesman [[Norman Manley]], NMLS is one of three [[law school]]s empowered by the (Caribbean) Council of Legal Education to award [[Legal Education Certificate]]s, along with the [[Eugene Dupuch Law School]] in [[the Bahamas]] and the [[Hugh Wooding Law School]] in [[Trinidad and Tobago]]. It opened its doors to students in September 1973.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.clecaribbean.com/schools.php\|title=The Schools\|publisher=Council of Legal Education\|accessdate=2012-04-19}}</ref> In July 2008, former Deputy Solicitor General [[Stephen Vasciannie]] was appointed principal of NMLS, succeeding [[Keith Sobion]] who had died some months before.<ref>{{cite news\|url=http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/137628_Vasciannie-appointed-principal-of-Norman-Manley-Law-School\|title=Vasciannie appointed principal of Norman Manley Law School\|work=[[The Jamaica Observer]]\|date=2008-07-08\|accessdate=2012-04-19}}</ref> In November 2012, [[Carol Aina]] was appointed principal following Vasciannie's departure to take up the post of Jamaica's ambassador to the United States. ==Partnerships and outreach work== NMLS students are required to perform several hours of field work to graduate. One way they obtain these hours is by participating in [[legal clinic]]s, through which the needy can obtain legal consultations at a price of [[Jamaican dollar\|J$]]1,000, far less than the usual tens of thousands of dollars required to meet with a private lawyer.<ref name="Observer20050202">{{cite news\|url=http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/74340_The-Norman-Manley-legal-clinic\|first=Ann-Margaret\|last=Lim\|\|title=The Norman Manley legal clinic\|work=[[Jamaica Observer]]\|date=2005-02-02\|accessdate=2012-04-19}}</ref> In November 2008, NMLS signed a memorandum of understanding with the [[Inter-American Commission on Human Rights]] to form a partnership and hold seminars on [[human rights]] issues, including [[capital punishment]].<ref>{{cite news\|url=http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20081124/news/news3.html\|title=Norman Manley Law School seeks partnership on human-right issues\|work=The Jamaica Gleaner\|date=2008-11-24\|accessdate=2012-04-19}}</ref> ==Notable students and faculty== {{see also\|Category:People associated with the Norman Manley Law School}} [[Dame Marcella Liburd]], fifth [[Governor-General of St Kitts and Nevis]] [[Kirk Anderson (judge)\|Kirk Anderson]], Justice of the [[Supreme Court of Jamaica]]<ref name="DunnCox">{{cite web\|url=http://www.dunncox.com/?q=attorney-profile/kirk-b-anderson\|title=Attorney profile: Kirk B.
