“STUDENTS’ STRATEGIC ADVOCACY AND IMPACT” PROGRAM HAS BEEN STARTED

“Students’ strategic advocacy and impact” program for students of law universities and colleges initiated by “Lawyers without Frontiers” non-governmental organization has been started today.   

An orientation seminar that is aimed at providing basic understanding of strategic advocacy and impact activities, its methods and types, as well as legal proceedings is being held among the participants. Through the seminar, they will be able to develop their own strategic advocacy and impact project which will later be implemented under the guidance of mentoring law firms.

This program not only gives opportunities for students to enhance their knowledge and skills with respect to legal proceedings and strategic advocacy and impact activities, but also it sets the best practice and promotes the effects and significance of strategic advocacy and impact activities to the public.

Good luck to all the participants and thanks for the support from the instructors.
