Georgetown: Making a quantum leap from the sciences to law, Eleanor Delores Maria Luckhoo on Thursday had her petition heard before Acting Chief Justice Ian Chang.
Luckhoo has become a fourth generation Lawyer, who will take up her practice in her father’s firm, Luckhoo and Luckhoo; one of the oldest legal firms in Guyana.
Her petition was presented by Senior Counsel Robin Stoby. Justice Chang heard of the young woman’s resilience and diverse academic achievement, to which he expressed his fondness.
Details of her petition revealed that the Young Luckhoo attended Queens’s College where she obtained nine subjects, all with Grade One passes.
She went on to the Caribbean Advance Proficiency Examination (CAPE) where she excelled with a Grade One in Chemistry. She followed in this area when she attended Miami University and read for a degree in Chemistry between 2002 and 2006.
Back in 2010, she returned to Guyana where she began her journey into the legal field by enrolling into the University of Guyana where she read for her LLB.
In 2013 she proceeded to the Hugh Wooding Law School where she excelled in every area of her study, including the Certificate of Achievement, along with nine other academic awards at her graduation.
Luckhoo said she had always had an interest in the science field, but later found that she would prefer to spend the rest of her life in the legal field; an area that most of her family members have treaded. She recalled the sleepless nights and the days away from home, but reckoned that it all paid off in the end.
Her father Senior Counsel Edward Luckhoo said he could not have been more proud of his daughter, who has always had an organised approach to everything she did.
