The International Conference on Clinical Legal Education, Legal Aid and Human Rights 2020 is an attempt to discuss various ways in which social justice can be assured and ensured to the people around the globe through Clinical Legal Education and Legal Aid. While the notion of Human Rights is one of the most debated topics these days, Clinical Legal Education and the concept of legal aid are also gathering momentum especially in developing countries. Clinical Legal Education is seen as an effective tool for law teaching and social justice but the potential of this tool has not been realized completely and till date this form of legal education has remained underdeveloped or undeveloped in many counts. The problems faced by law clinics and legal aid cells are multi facet and there are ambiguities in the approaches adopted by clinicians and tutors.
Apart from Clinical Legal Education and Legal Aid, the conference will also focus on contemporary issues and challenges of Human Rights Law both at international and national level. Today Human Rights issues have gained a significant importance and occupied a pivotal position in policy considerations at the national and international level. However, after 70 years of enactment of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) world has witnessed numerous human rights violation such as refugee crises, torture, slavery, denial of transgender rights and the alike. The rights of women and children are also ignored in many different ways. All these issues have posed with various challenges and have given rise to the need of discussing the effectiveness and better implementation of the provisions of the laws of human rights.
This conference will serve as a platform for law clinics and legal aid cells; members, teachers, professors, students, human rights activists and lawyers from all over the globe to come forward to reflect upon and address various issues faced by them in their approach towards access to justice. Apart from plenary sessions, this conference will also ponder over our response towards such challenges and to be aware of what approaches are adopted in different countries. There will be special sessions conducted by senior faculty members chosen for exceptional contribution in legal aid education to share their experience and the approach adopted by them to tackle the problems faced.
