Lucie-Smith was the second son of Sir John Lucie-Smith, a former Chief Justice of Jamaica, and his wife Marie, eldest daughter of J. R. van Waterschoodt. He was educated a Rugby School and from 1877 worked as a solicitor in British Guiana.
In 1881 he was called to the bar by the Middle Temple and a year later became acting Solicitor General of British Guiana. Lucie-Smith was sent to Cyprus in 1887 and there was appointed president of a district court in Famagusta. After five years, he was transferred to another court in Limassol. Smith was nominated an Acting Queen's Advocate in 1893 and was attached to Constantinople in 1895 as an Acting Consular Judge. Only a year later he came to Kingston, Jamaica, where he acted as the parish's Resident Magistrate. In 1898, Lucie-Smith returned to British Guiana, having been made a Puisne Judge. He stayed in this office until 1908 and received then an appointment as Chief Justice of Trinidad and Tobago. Lucie-Smith was created a Knight Bachelor in 1911 and retired as judge in 1924.
