Her Excellency The Governor, Ms Rena Lalgie, has announced the appointment of Mr Alan Richards as a Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court of Bermuda.

The Governor said “I am pleased to appoint Mr Richards to this important role.  In particular, he brings valuable knowledge and insight from his extensive experience including his work with the Department of Public Prosecutions over the last nine years.

The Judiciary holds an important place in Bermuda as a separate and independent branch of Government which hears charges of criminal conduct, resolves disputes, upholds the rights and freedoms of individuals and preserves the rule of law.”

Mr Richards said “I am greatly honoured by this appointment and I look forward to serving the administration of justice in these Islands in this role to the very best of my abilities“.
