PILA - Public interest lawyers associationHome > Socially responsible legal education
Czech legal education suffers from exaggerated emphasis on theory and a lack focus on the ethical aspects of law.
To improve unsatisfactory situation, Pro Bono Aliance runs these activities:
1) Human Rights School
2) Cooperation with law teachers
3) Support to clinical legal education
Pro Bono Aliance’s primary goal is to make the legal instruments in the Czech Republic more effective in protecting human rights, public interest and important common values.
Pro Bono Aliance promotes better access to legal aid and socially responsible lawyering. To achieve its goals, Pro Bono Aliance organizes educational events, supports exchange of experience and facilitates cooperation between lawyers from NGOs and other legal professions, participates in legislative change, supports pro bono activities of lawyers and spreads information about the protection of human rights.
