William Conrad Reeves

William Conrad Reeves, born in Saint Joseph, Barbados in 1821 was an important nineteenth century lawyer, academic and legal figure on the island of Barbados. He represented Saint Joseph in the Barbados Barbados House of Assembly in Bridgetown and was appointed Solicitor-General of Barbados in 1875. In 1884 he was appointed Attorney General on Barbados and became the first black Chief Justice of Barbados during the slave era; a revolutionary achievement in the legal system at this time in the politics of the West Indies. In 1889 he was appointed Knight of the Realm of the British Empire by Queen Victoria.
