Millennium Fellowship Project: Legal lifeline: Legal Aid initiative
My project has been centered mostly on making justice accessible and educating people about the law. Hence, I volunteered at my school's legal aid clinic where we give free legal advice to members of the public who can't afford it. Furthermore, since August I have been tutoring Family Law class under the University of Lusaka School of Law, I hope the tutorials will aid in bringing more well educated lawyers into the society and I hope to atleast have played a part in the quality of lawyers brought into the community.
