Honourable Patrice Nisbett Parliamentary representative for St James and St Thomas, son of Marion Jeffers and Aubrey Nisbett was born on the 5^th day of September 1971 in the parish of St. James in the island of Nevis.

 

Patrice received his early education at the Combermere All Age School (as it was then known).  He left the Combermere School after qualifying for Secondary School and obtained his Secondary Education at the Charlestown Secondary School.  In 1988, he entered the Sixth Form College and graduated in 1990.

 

Patrice left Nevis in 1990 and pursued a degree in Law at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, Barbados.  He obtained his degree in 1993 and travelled to Trinidad and entered the Hugh Wooding Law School and completed his Legal Education Certificate there.

 

He was called to the Bar in Nevis on the 7^th day of November 1995 and since then has had an active career at the Bar, engaging in both civil and criminal cases.

 

As absorbed as he is with the law, Patrice finds time to be actively involved in extra curricular activities.  He has served as President of the Nevis Cricket Association and he continues to be an active member. He was also President of the Nevis Youth Council in 2001.

 

Patrice is a young man on fire for his country.  It is passions such as those found in him that we should encourage and cultivate in our youth.
