Liv og virke

Bakgrunn

Etter videregående skolegang ved Bishop Anstey High School i Port of Spain, begynte Weekes på jusstudier ved University of the West Indies på Cave Hill på Barbados. Hun har bachelorgrad i juss derfra og Legal Education Certificate fra Hugh Wooding Law School i St. Augustine i hjemlandet. Hun ble advokat i 1982.[5]

I 2000 var hun fellow ved Commonwealth Judicial Education Institute i Halifax i Canada.[6]

Jurist- og dommerkarriere

Weekes arbeidet for påtalemyndigheten i elleve år. Fra 1993 var hun privatpraktiserende advokat.[5][7]

I 1996 ble Weekes utnevnt til dommer i High Court. Fra 2005 til 2016, da hun gikk av med pensjon, var hun appellrettsdommer i høyesterett.[5]

I februar 2017 ble hun dommer på Turks- og Caicosøyene, der hun innsatt som dommer i Turks and Caicos Islands Court of Appeal.[8]

Ved siden av arbeidet som dommer, har Weekes undervist. I årene 2011 til 2016 holdt hun kurs i etikk ved Hugh Wooding Law School.[7] Hun har også vært aktiv innen Organisasjonen for østkaribiske stater.[9]

Den anglikanske kirke

Weekes har hatt lederrolle i den anglikanske kirke, der hun i 20 år har vært kansler for bispedømmet Trinidad og Tobago i Church in the Province of the West Indies.[10]

President

Weekes ble nominert til presidentembetet av statsminister Keith Rowley.[11] Nominasjonen fikk støtte fra opposisjonen og det ble ikke nominert andre kandidater.[9] Weekes ble dermed erklært som valgvinner da valgforsamlingen møttes.[12] Weekes ble første kvinne valgt til embetet som president.[13]

Weekes ble innsatt i presidentembetet 19. mars 2018.[14]
