Meanwhile, from the courtroom to the tennis court, some of the country’s top legal minds took a break for a bit of friendly competition and mentorship.

The Honorable Justice Jon Isaacs, longtime judge and retired President of the Court of Appeals, wrapped up several days of mentoring young attorneys in a training hosted by the Bahamas Bar Association. To close things out, he gathered everyone at the Gym Tennis Club in Winton for a light-hearted match on the court.

And of course, if you ask Justice Isaacs who won, he’ll gladly tell you.
