To Africa, with law: a new ABA initiative links U.S. and African law schools

Article Abstract:

The ABA's Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar has started the African Legal Initiative Sister Law School Program (AFLI). This program, funded by a $200,000 grant from the US Information Agency will be modeled on the Sister Law School Program of the ABA Central and Eastern European Law Initiative. The AFLI will target eight East African countries: Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, Ghana, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. One of AFLI's activities will be trying to remedy African law schools' shortage of resources.
