## Biography

### Professional career

- Judge Andrews was appointed to the Superior Court and assigned to head the Complex Litigation Division in 2021, succeeding Judge Robert Molloy, who was appointed to the U.S. District Court for the U.S. Virgin Islands

### Education


### Additional information

- The Complex Litigation Division was created in 2018 to give dedicated judicial oversight to such cases, but Andrews’ role became especially urgent after a writ of mandamus highlighted delays of nearly 20 years in some matters.
- Leadership listing: Included in the official Judiciary of the U.S. Virgin Islands leadership roster.
- His appointment was prompted by a significant backlog — thousands of cases, some dating back decades — involving over 120 attorneys.
- Court assignment: Complex Litigation Division, which manages large, multi‐party, and legally intricate cases, including mass torts, environmental claims, and other “tangled litigation”.
