“Legal education in Europe faces many difficult challenges, including making the law school curriculum more practical, with an emphasis on skills, values and social justice. Clinical legal education is a perfect way to answer many of these challenges and it is remarkable to see the positive contributions of legal clinics in many European countries. I am convinced that a European Network for Clinical Legal Education will increase awareness about the added value of clinical legal education and will help to create a real clinical movement in Europe,” says Filip Czernicki, the president of Global Alliance for Justice Education (GAJE) and of the Polish Legal Clinics Foundation (FUPP), and founding member of the European Network for Clinical Legal Education (ENCLE).

The Polish Legal Clinics Foundation is going to establish Pro Bono Center

Details

Created on Friday, 22 June 2007 14:04

On June 22 the Polish Legal Clinics Foundation officially opened the new project aimed at setting up the first clearing house in Poland. The project has been introduced during a meeting on the pro bono work and social responsibility of lawyers organized in the Polish Constitutional Tribunal. We invited representatives of the Polish bar associations and lawyers from the leading law firms in Poland to discuss the pro bono culture in Poland. All our guests emphasized in their short speeches a tremendous social need for free of charge legal aid, in particular a difficult situation of NGOs. Judge Stepien – the President of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal paid tribute to NGOs and their crucial role in a process of building up a strong civil society in Poland. All participants agreed that there is a serious problem that most NGOs have no access to private sector resources. Possible remedy for this situation would be to institutionalize pro bono practice by law firms and individual lawyers. This is a task that the Polish Legal Clinics Foundation is going to undertake by building up the Pro Bono Center . The meeting has been concluded by signing up a declaration "Polish Lawyers for the Public Good".
