The LAC operates through a structured team responsible for delivering legal aid services, supervision, coordination, and reporting.<\/p>\n
The frontline legal aid services are delivered by six legal aid officers, <\/strong>stationed at our six legal aid offices. <\/strong>Each legal aid officer holds a bachelor\u2019s degree<\/strong> in law and has relevant professional experience. They are responsible for providing legal advice, legal documents preparation directly to clients and handling day-to-day case work.<\/p>\n Legal aid officers also work together with interns and volunteers<\/strong>, including law students of Addis Ababa University and volunteers from other universities who participate during vacation periods.<\/p>\n From time to time, the LAC is supported by student volunteers<\/strong>, primarily from the university, as well as volunteers from other universities. These volunteers assist the legal aid officers in service delivery and develop their legal skills.<\/p>\n The Legal Aid Center Coordinator<\/strong> oversees the day-to-day activities<\/strong> of the legal aid offices and ensures that all operational needs are arranged and addressed. The Coordinator supervises legal aid officers, interns, and volunteers, and provides guidance in the implementation of legal aid activities.<\/p>\n The Legal Aid Center Coordinator reports to the Research and Community Engagement Coordinator of the School of Law<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Research and Community Engagement Coordinator of the School of Law provides overall supervision and guidance<\/strong> to the Legal Aid Center. This role includes oversight of activities, coordination, and reporting. The Legal Aid Center submits quarterly, mid-year, and annual reports<\/strong> through this coordination structure.<\/p>\n The Executive Dean<\/strong> of the School of Law provides leadership oversight. In addition, the Academic Council<\/strong> of the School also forms part of the governance structure, contributing to academic and institutional supervision.<\/p>\n The School of Law also plans to engage practicing lawyers more actively. This includes planned involvement of pro bono<\/em><\/strong> lawyers<\/strong>, who will contribute time and expertise to the Legal Aid Center.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u200bManagement and Staff The LAC operates through a structured team responsible for delivering legal aid services, supervision, coordination, and reporting.
