28. Participants at EHRAC’s seminar ‘Strategic litigation - a regional perspective’ held in Tbilisi in 2011
Over the past ten years, lawyers from countries across the former Soviet Union have benefited from training seminars, legal consultancies, and roundtables organised by EHRAC and partner organisations.
EHRAC has held a total of 37 events since 2003, reaching over 850 participants in Moscow, St Petersburg, Novorossiysk, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Sudzal, and Pyatigorsk as well as in Georgia and Armenia. Bringing together experts from the UK and lawyers from across the former Soviet Union has encouraged dialogue, offering lawyers the chance to exchange experience, develop strategies for collaboration and tackle themes common to their countries. Participants at training seminars are encouraged to stay in touch with EHRAC and each other for advice or assistance in taking cases to the European Court.
Each year, EHRAC has also run a Legal Skills Development Programme, in which lawyers from the region attend an intensive training programme in London (and/or Strasbourg), focused on human rights litigation and practical skills such as taking witness statements.
