[COLPI-SLClinics] Re: Street law manual on-line

Dear members,

We are pleased to announce that the "Manual on Street Law-Type Teaching
Clinics at Law Faculties", written by Felisa Tibbitts of HREA and
distributed by the Constitutional and Legal Policy Institute (COLPI) in
Budapest, is now also available on-line in Russian. The manual was
developed by HREA in cooperation with Street Law, Inc., an international
NGO dedicated to educating young people about law, human rights and
democracy.

The 92-page manual draws heavily from experiences in Central and Eastern
Europe and the former Soviet Union in providing practical suggestions for
setting up a teaching clinic at law schools, where law students teach
everyday law to the public. These clinics typically have a human rights
education component. The manual was written for law faculty and others
interested to initiate a programme.

The chapters are:
1. Using this manual
2. Origins of street law-type teaching clinics
3. Key issues for law school teaching programs
4. Rationales for street law-type teaching clinics
5. Administrative structures of teaching clinics
6. Partnerships with the community
7. Development of syllabus and lessons
8. Supervision and evaluation within the program
9. Funding and sustainability of the program
10. Additional resources and contact information

For further information and to access the full-text Russian and English
language version of the manual, published in the COLPI Paper Series, see:

We hope that you find this manual helpful,
