The UK’s College of Law has been assisting Rwanda’s centre for legal education in its goal of training up the country’s own professionals and rebuilding the legal sector. Dan Hill reports

The College of Law, as a centre for professional legal education in the UK and internationally, has been providing assistance to Rwanda’s centre for professional legal education (pictured above), the Institute of Legal Practice and Development (ILPD), as part of its corporate social responsibility programme. I first visited ILPD in 2010 on a fact-finding mission and returned to teach as a visiting lecturer on their equivalent of the legal practice course for two weeks in December 2011.
