A4ID Future Lawyers' Training Programme
The A4ID Future Lawyers’ Training Programme is a free course for law students, exploring the links between international development, business and law.
About the Training Programme
The A4ID Future Lawyers’ Training Programme is a free course running over two weekends, which introduces law students to international development and explores some of the key legal issues and challenges in development today.
The 2012 Programme ran once in January and again, for a new intake, in March.
the Programme offers a unique opportunity for students interested in law and development to learn more about the engagement between the two fields. The course covers issues such as human rights, climate change and responsible business, through seminars, discussions and talks, delivered by leading experts from the academic, legal and development fields.
There is a Q&A on careers in law and development, in which participants will hear from lawyers who have gained experience in the area through internships, overseas placements and international pro bono work.
Students are encouraged to think about how they can contribute to international development efforts throughout their legal careers, and how the law can be used to further development efforts.
The 2012 Programme was kindly hosted by The College of Law Moorgate, the College of Law Bloomsbury, City Law School and BPP Holborn, and funded by the UK Department for International Development.
The 2012 Programme was a great sucess and A4ID would like to thank everyone who participated in the January and March sessions and to City Law School, College of Law Bloomsbury, College of Law Moorgate and BPP Holborn for hosting.
