School of Law
Founded and operated by Bishop Most Rev. Willy Romelus, this law school provides young college graduates with the opportunity to stay in their hometown to study law, instead of migrating to the Capital of Port-au-Prince.
For the first three years after obtaining their degree, students serve people in need of legal help acting as advocates, free of charge. In July 1999, the first 17 students obtained their degree. Among them, nine went on to practice law and eight proceeded to judicial school.
In order to help eradicate illiteracy in Haiti, which currently is at 80%, the Bishop founded 6 schools at the high school and technical levels. These school provided children with the opportunities for an education, which otherwise they may not have had. Diocese of Jérémie HAITI
