By Kiana WilburgWhen many of our highly respected legal minds debate on the “dispensation of justice”, they conclude that Magistrate Alex Moore is one of the most effective and proficient in this area.Many say that as a Magistrate, his court is “unlike any other”.Flanked by two colleagues in the noble profession“Magistrate Moore is quite different from any other you would encounter. He is not only strict; he understands his courtroom and respects everyone’s time. He takes time to explain what the law means and reprimands anyone who dares think that they can waste the court’s time… and the police officers or his prosecutors are no exception. What is also admirable about Moore is that unlike most courtrooms, cases aren’t prolonged. And though he may use a lion’s voice to get a point over to someone, he has always exercised mercy and good judgment,” was how one renowned lawyer describedOne of the lawyers who even lost a case before the Magistrate said,

Moore is very organized and has his own unique style in dealing with the court, coupled with his professionalism.”Moore is currently presiding over the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court, and asserts that he seeks to make his court as efficient as humanly possible. And for those who have never witnessed him in action, noteworthy is the fact that he is extremely passionate about the law and strives to follow it to the letter.But getting to this “unconventional point” of his life was never foreseen, at least not by Moore.Born to Cheryl and Stanley Moore, the 35-year-old revealed that life as a magistrate is probably one of the hardest and fulfilling responsibilities for those who genuinely love it.Moore attended Stella Maris Primary then moved on to The Bishops’ High School where he? spent one year before migrating to Antigua and Barbuda with his mother who worked as a pilot with LIAT.Moore then moved to Barbados where he completed his high school education and then progressed to the University of the West Indies where he successfully obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in English.After this, he returned to Guyana where the journey in what would be his preferred field began. He studied law at the University of Guyana and upon completion, he then went to Hugh Wooding Law School, Trinidad, then onto the University of Washington where he completed his Master’s degree in law.Magistrate Moore with his father, Judge Stanley Moore.After completing his studies, Moore decided that it was time to return to the Caribbean to enter the world of work in earnest.It was no surprise that his first job was with a law firm based in Barbados. Working there as an attorney afforded him the opportunity to travel and conduct many investigations.But even at this point where a fruitful future was certain, Moore still remembered a most forgettable part of his life.He reminisced about being bullied in his earlier years.“People look at you and think that you have it all, or that you have had the confidence you exude from a tender age, but truth is, I was not confident at all at one point of my life. I never thought that I would amount to anything. When I was much younger, I was this chubby, little awkward adolescent who definitely wasn’t popular or even a hit with the girls, and by the time I was 13, the fat jokes just made me become super self-conscious.“It was at this point of my life that I got into health and fitness and started to watch what I was eating. So apart from my work which I feel very dedicated to, those harsh remarks became the catalyst for my continued interest in the gym. But most importantly, not being popular at that time, taught me the importance of individuality and being self-reliant.”“As a student I was not the bright boy in school,

I guess I was the proverbial ‘late bloomer’ because I did exceptionally well when I got out of high school.”“When I look at how far I’ve come, especially with the mindset I had back then, I am quite pleased now more than ever that I can be able to make a difference with the position that I have.”“When I was working with the firm in Barbados, I just had to leave. After working for two years, I realized that the type of work I did placed me in the background, and my hard work was not serving me, I was not getting the credit for the work I did. I was virtually unknown. When I asked for a raise of pay,World Baseball
