- Description
-
The planned short course is a core project of the Refugee Law Initiative that serves to disseminate a strong grounding in the protection of refugees and other displaced persons under international law among lawyers, policy-makers, NGO workers, international agency staff, post-graduate students, and others working with refugees or interested in refugee issues. It consists of eight once-weekly evening sessions that will be delivered to participants by leading academic experts and practitioners in international refugee law.
Course attendance will be formally certified by the School of Advanced Study and CPD points can also be accredited to participating solicitors and barristers. Participants have the opportunity to join the Refugee Law Initiative network based at the School of Advanced Study, and will be encouraged to engage with other activities run by the Refugee Law Initiative.
Participants will be assigned readings during weeks 2-8 to read in preparation for the following week's session. Participants will be expected to dedicate 3-4 hours outside the sessions each week to reading these materials. Copies of the core readings will be distributed during the first session.
