A new Supreme Court Justice is headed to Grand Bahama come September. Estelle Gray-Evans will replace the presently-sitting Acting Justice Peter Maynard.

Evans was appointed by His Excellency the Governor General on the advice of the Judicial and Legal Service Commission to act as Justice of the Supreme Court in Grand Bahama for 18 months.

She will be assigned to the Northern Region and preside in the court at Freeport, Grand Bahama, officially taking up her duties effective November 1, 2007.

Justice Evans, who currently serves as Registrar of the Supreme Court, was admitted to the Bahamas Bar on December 16,1988 having served articles of clerkship under Frederick Smith at the law firm Callendars and Co., where she spent six years in private practice as an associate.

Born in Forbes Hill, Exuma, on November 19, 1954 Evans is a 1970 graduate of Prince William Baptist High School and a 1974 graduate of Shaw Business College in Toronto Canada.

She joined the office of the Judiciary as a Deputy Registrar for the Northern Region in January 1995.

She served in that post until she was seconded to New Providence to serve as the acting project coordinator of the Bahamas Integrated Justice Information Systems (BIJIS Project), a post she held until her appointment as Registrar of the Supreme Court on March 1, 2004.

Evans is married to Chief Superintendent of Police, Shannondor Evans.
