They "are uniformly of star quality with established records of accomplishment and upward trajectory". In her submitting her nomination, the embassy said, Judge Malahoo Forte exhibited "a quiet determination and an unshakable confidence in Jamaica".

"To that end, she has embarked on a life of public service and the Yale Fellowship should only enhance her leadership capability and capacity to contribute to Jamaica."

Malahoo Forte is a judge at the Corporate Area Civil Courts in Kingston and a lecturer in Criminal Practice and Procedure at the Norman Manley Law School, Mona Campus, Jamaica. She is a Commonwealth Scholar who holds a Master of Laws Degree, with merit, from the University of London, King's College; a Bachelor of Laws Degree with honours, from the University of the West Indies, Barbados and a Certificate of Legal Education from the Norman Manley Law School.

She is a former headgirl of Manning's School in Savanna-La-Mar, Westmoreland. Before taking up her judicial appointment in February 2001, she was an assistant director of Public Prosecution, with a success rate of over 98% at both the trial and appellate levels, the embassy said.
