Dear list members,

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 available in English and
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

Human Rights Education Associates (HREA) is an international 
non-governmental organisation that supports human rights learning; the 
training of activists and professionals; the development of educational 
materials and programming; and community-building through on-line 
technologies. COLPI is the legal reform support program of the Open Society 
Institute. The agency operates programs in Central and Eastern Europe, 
Central Asia, and Mongolia that aim to strengthen the rule of law, respect 
for human rights, and modern democratic institutions.

For further information and to access the full-text English language
version of the manual, please visit: http://www.hrea.org/streetlaw.html

Best regards,
