Legal Education Spotlight: Rwanda

It is not enough to talk about the state of legal education in the United States. As a company that is based on the philosophy that learning is a never-ending process, and informative, easy to get continuing education, we also see the need for education across the globe. In this day in age, where entire cultures, societies, and economies intersect to form a world without boundaries, it is important for education to expand to keep up with growth.

I came across this article on the first Law Development Center which opened in Rwanda earlier this month. The National Institute of Legal Practice and Development is a strong step in the right direction for a country rebuilding itself from the ground up. The institute will be the foundation of legal development and education in the country. It will offer a nine-month course in law and it will award a Post Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice and Continuing Legal Education.

As other countries begin to build their legal system and model it after the US and other established systems in the world, it is vital to start with a proper legal education center. Prepare for the future by educating the youth, and continuing to educate those who become involved with the law as they get older. That is the only way for a society to undergo this type of growth and change.
