Malcolm, Esq. holds a J.S.D. in Intercultural Human Rights Law from St. Thomas University, an LL.M. in Human Rights Law from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), a Master of Arts in English from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, and a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of the West Indies (Jamaica).

Harold was awarded the prestigious British Chevening Scholarship by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office and is the recipient of numerous other scholarships and awards, including the Sir Alexander Bustamante Scholarship, named after Jamaica's National Hero. Admitted to practice law in Jamaica since 2008 and in Florida since 2021, Harold has extensive experience focusing on police brutality, poverty, and inequality through research, litigation, and advocacy. He served as an advisor to The Most Honourable Dr. Andrew Holness, ON, PC, Prime Minister of Jamaica, during his tenure as Minister of Education, where he played a pivotal role in shaping national educational policies. In 2008, Harold represented Jamaica at the 17th International AIDS Conference held in Mexico City from August 3-8, which was attended by dignitaries including former President Bill Clinton. Harold’s dedication to justice and public service includes his role as a former Director of Jamaicans for Justice and his ongoing volunteer work with immigrant rights clinics in South Florida, where he advocates for marginalized communities. His career reflects a steadfast commitment to improving the lives of ordinary Jamaicans and fostering systemic change through law, policy, and education.
