Who for and who with
The programme is aimed at practising lawyers, and those with a strong interest in the role the law plays in the development agenda. A legal background is highly beneficial and you will need the critical skills to apply your knowledge to the new areas addressed during the course.
Seminars and workshops are delivered by leading academics, development professionals and practising lawyers to help participants understand how the law can secure, or be a barrier to, sustainable development.
What you gain
A knowledge of the big issues in international development, successes and challenges in using the law, and the complexities involved in trying to make effective interventions
Practical skills in thinking through how you would tackle real life cases
The confidence to advise pro bono and fee paying clients on legal issues to do with international development
How you learn
Each topic will be introduced with a presentation and time for questions and discussions. You will have the opportunity to explore the issues and how they play out in practice, through participatory group work and interactive exercises.
We will upload background information, course materials and further resources to a shared secure site so that you can build on your learning.
