Training and public engagement
Events at BIICL: The BIICL events programme in 2019 once again provided an opportunity to hear the commentary of experts and to discuss a range of topical issues. Events have also provided a platform to disseminate and refine our own research projects
Expansion of our Training: Programme: BIICL has a decade of experience of running successful training courses. Our Public International Law in Practice Course, as well as in-house courses run for governments, judiciaries, civil society and others globally, have earned us a reputation for high level, research informed training. In 2019/2020, we organised training for various groups including the British Government (on international law), and the Office of the Attorney General of Nepal (on international and transnational criminal law) as well as convening our own programme of courses.
Public Legal Education: BIICL continues to support the understanding of the Rule of Law beyond the legal sector with activities such as the Rule of Law for Citizenship Education programme and a range of other public legal education activities including: assisting judges tounderstand the many disadvantages faced by young defendants; participating in the Solicitor General's Public Legal Education (PLE) Advisory Panel; and convening roundtables between education and legal advice organisations.
