On November 5, 2026, the legal profession gained another young advocate when 22-year-old Tyler Orderson was admitted to the local Bar by the Honorable Madam Justice Nicola Pierre. This ceremony marked the culmination of five years of intense study and grueling practical training in the law. However, as the newly admitted attorney remarked upon entering the profession, “the work is now beginning.”<\/p>\n\n\n

Like many\u00a0members of the legal profession,\u00a0Tyler\u00a0Orderson\u2019s\u00a0interest in the law\u00a0originated and blossomed\u00a0while atschool.\u00a0Whilst\u00a0attending Marian Academy for primary and secondary education,\u00a0Orderson\u00a0participated in various competitions and clubs that spurred his fascination with oral advocacy and community engagement. However, it was while reading the Guinness Book of World Records one afternoon in the school\u2019s library that his passion for the law truly took root. In that particular volume, Guyanese legend and Queen\u2019s Counsel, the late Sir Lionel Luckhoo, was\u00a0recognized\u00a0as the \u201cmost successful lawyer\u201d in the world with a string of 245 successive murder acquittals. In that moment,\u00a0Orderson\u00a0knew that he wanted to pursue such excellence.\u00a0This desire was further compounded\u00a0after\u00a0he was assigned\u00a0the famous Harper Lee novel, \u2018To Kill a Mockingbird,\u2019 for English Literature reading in third form;\u00a0Orderson\u00a0adopted\u00a0the celebrated (albeit fictional) attorney, Atticus Finch, as a personal role model\u00a0forchampioning the causes of others, even when\u00a0doing so\u00a0was difficult. \u00a0\u00a0

The\u00a0Honourable\u00a0Madam Justice Nicola Pierre,\u00a0the new Attorney at Law\u00a0Mr.\u00a0Tyler\u00a0Orderson\u00a0and Attorney-at-Law Ms.\u00a0Stacy\u00a0Goodings<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u200bIt was this passion for achieving excellence that led him to pursue studies in History at the University of Guyana where, after attaining a 4.0 GPA in his first year of study, he transferred to the Bachelor of Laws Programme at 17 years old. Three years later, he graduated with his LL.B. and was offered a place to study for his Legal Education Certificate at the Eugene Dupuch Law School (\u201cEDLS\u201d) in The Bahamas. While at law school, Orderson was introduced to the finer points of courtroom advocacy and what it meant to truly serve the administration of justice and those affected by it. Throughout his first year of study, he participated in several workshops and observed competitions among the region\u2019s three law schools. During the summer between his first and second years at EDLS, he interned at the Stacy Goodings Law Office where he interacted with various matters affecting the Guyanese public. Further, while in his final year at law school, he represented EDLS in the Margaret Forte Regional Mock Trial Competition wherein an entire (simulated) criminal trial was conducted in a day. This was in addition to his Family Law work at the Law School\u2019s Legal Aid Clinic. Nevertheless, these opportunities were not sufficient for the young lawyer and, while awaiting the results of his final year examinations, Orderson participated in a five-week long internship at Guyana\u2019s highest appellate court, the Caribbean Court of Justice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orderson’s pursuit of excellence, however, has extended well beyond the classroom. He is a former national karateka and record-holder in Shotokan Karate. He was also a member of the St. Margaret\u2019s Scout Group and represented his high school in Table Tennis competitions. Presently, he trains at, and represents, the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) in Field Hockey and is an avid Lawn Tennis player. Rather than distracting him from his professional pursuits and responsibilities, Orderson noted that these extracurriculars and hobbies only served to increase his capacity (and determination) for success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon being admitted, the new attorney expressed gratitude to his family, friends, mentors and support system who made his accomplishment possible. As he stated, \u201cwithout the unwavering support of those who aided me in my journey, I could not have made it here today.\u201d The young advocate pledged to serve his clients with diligence, competence, and fearlessness. He recognized the sacred duties of lawyers to the court, the administration of justice, and to their clients. In addressing the court, Orderson vowed to \u201cserve humbly and ably\u201d and to never allow his learning in the law to end. While admitting an affinity for criminal law, he made sure to mention that he intended to \u201cread widely\u201d and practice many areas of the law.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked to leave a message regarding his journey to the Bar, Orderson stated that he was always guided by a personal mantra: \u201cJust because you find yourself the youngest at the tabledoesn\u2019t mean that you haven\u2019t earned your seat there.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n
