The Distinguished Lawyers Program: A CRCICA-ABA ROLI Collaboration

Presented by: ABA ROLI and CRCICA

CRCICA and ABA ROLI (American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative) started a partnership in 2009 to provide continuing legal education for the Egyptian Legal Community with the support of the USAID. The Program was a great achievement and succeeded to provide basic legal skills for a wide range of junior lawyers and fresh graduates. In September 2016, the funded program closed after being identified as one of the most successful CLE programs in Egypt.

Proudly, as of this date, CRCICA was chosen to administer and develop the program in close collaboration with ABA ROLI. The program in its new phase is being supported by the elites of the Egyptian Legal Community represented in its’ Advisory Board. The newly structured program was launched in November 2016 by a training entitled Your Guide to Mastering Client Relationships … the Customers’ Perspective. In 2017 and beyond, this program will provide different trainings to help lawyers improve their legal skills and acquire new ones.

The thematic scope of future trainings is all-encompassing to improve Egyptian lawyers’ legal skills in various fields of practice. All stakeholders are welcomed to fill in a needs assessment survey to help CRCICA and ABA ROLI assess market needs and plan a fully responsive program.
