CAPACITY BUILDING OF LEGAL TEAMS FOR FREE LEGAL AID
Project team of EU funded project "Protection and promotion of property rights of internally displaced persons, refugees and returnees upon readmission agreements" and Office for Kosovo and Metohija organized two-day training for trainers on 20th and 21st December in Nis. Senior and junior legal advisers who will be supervising the legal trainees recruited to work on the project have completed intensive training programme that will enable effective transfer of their acquired knowledge to the pool of trainees. This training is very significant because legal advisers are responsible for the professional development of trainees in proper case management and effective representation of vulnerable IDPs in the courts and other institutions in Kosovo and Metohija. This approach to the development of professional skills will be very important in establishing the future pool of effective advocates. Following a comprehensive training over the two year project, the young legal trainees will become familiar with professional case management that will integrate client, document and time management databases and ensure well-managed casework with a greater prospect of effective interventions and just outcomes for the clients. After completion of the project up to 20 law trainees will be fully equipped to take prepare and manage important legal cases and more importantly they will gain invaluable and direct experience of advocacy in the courts....
