Short description of the project

Legal education of the population helps universities to implement several strategic tasks: 1) let students acquire practical experience and professional skills “in the field”; 2) provide population, including the poor and the most vulnerable groups, with the access to legal knowledge and services; 3) ensure general humanization of society as a result of the implementation of the first two tasks. To achieve this goal, the Faculty of Law has already implemented several projects in the field of legal clinical education, which should be further developed. This will help faculty stay competitive in the market, where a lot of NGOs currently work. Trainings and micro-courses will be developed; practical elements will be the introduced into the learning courses for students, the network of legal clinics will be developed through creating counseling centers and hubs for the poor.
