7 September – December 2021 | VOICES Bi-Monthly Magazine of the University of Technology, Jamaica UTech, Jamaica Faculty of Law students were recruited in July 2021 by the National Land Agency (NLA) for a summer internship programme in which they were specially trained to assist the Agency in achieving the objective of registering at least ten thousand (10,000) Certificates of Title for the year. A team of nine students comprising, Jason Baker, Leandra Samuels, Britnie Edwards, Tazzeel Walker, Annay Wheatle, Amelia Leveridge-Ellis, Diana Minto, Tyler Rae Rerrie and Danika Bourge served in this worthy capacity. The initiative supported the NLA in its mandate by the Government of Jamaica, to issue within three years, twenty thousand Certificates of Title for land. This Systematic Land Registration programme as established by the NLA has direct positive implications for the people of Jamaica as it will make available the opportunity to have a Certificate of Title issued for otherwise unregistered land. The Faculty of Law students were applauded by the NLA for their professionalism and efficiency in assisting the NLA in the special programme. The students, who had previously completed their Real Property Law module under the guidance of their Law Lecturers Ms. Tanya Golaub and Ms. Shanice Trowers, brought their knowledge as a foundation in understanding the Title Registration process.
