ABOUT THE LEGAL CLINIC
In 2013, in collaboration with the American Bar Association (ABA), the University of Bahrain launched the Legal Clinic and Human Rights Centre Program. This Program aims at disseminating human rights principles by providing law students with hands-on-legal experience to equip them with the various legal skills needed for the labour market, and to spread the culture of voluntary and team work. The launching of this program, as an outcome of the reform project of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, aims at raising awareness of human rights principles among citizens and University students from various areas of specialization. The Legal Clinic and Human Rights Centre is affiliated to UOB College of Law. The Legal Clinic and Human Rights Centre provides free advice to students and the public.
