The 7th Worldwide GAJE Conference was held at Jindal Global Law School, outside New Delhi, India, in December 2013. It took place in two parts, with the first part on the JGU campus in Sonipat, located outside Delhi, on 10-14 December, and the second part at NLU-Delhi in the New Delhi district of Dwarka on 16-18 December.
The Legal Clinic of the Department of Law of the University of Brescia organizes on 11 November 2014 a conference on "Rescue at sea, expulsion, detention centers.The protection of undocumented migrants in the experience of legal clinics".
The conference will outline some cases handled by legal clinics in countries of the Mediterranean area and explore the perspectives of advocacy, strategic litigation and collaboration between civil society and universities in this field, both at the national and European level.

The 2nd ENCLE Conference is titled “Euro-Clinic - Is there a distinctive identity for European Clinical Legal Education?” and it is merged with the 12th IJCLE Conference entitled “Clinic Without Borders”. The joint conferences will take place in Olomouc, Czech Republic, on 15-17 July, with an optional day in Prague on 18 July.
Benefiting from the high number of clinicians who regularly attend the annual IJCLE event, this joint conference will be an ideal place to connect with other clinicians, discover new ideas, share best practices and to discuss items related to clinical legal education in Europe, such as:
The deadline for submission of papers has been extended to the 16th May 2014 and we encourage everyone submitting papers for the ENCLE part of the conference to focus on the priority areas listed in the bullet points above.
The procedure is easy – all you need to do is e-mail your proposal to Maureen Cooke from Northumbria University (maureen.cooke{at}northumbria.ac.uk). The proposals should follow this format:
The proposal will then be considered by a conference planning group.
The previous ENCLE conference in Warsaw demonstrated the enthusiasm of clinicians throughout Europe and the need for discussion and exchange of information. The 2nd ENCLE conference in Olomouc is a unique opportunity to continue the efforts supporting further development of legal clinics in Europe. Everyone interested in clinical legal education is warmly invited to participate!
The conference will also include several ENCLE-specific events (e.g. the ENCLE General Assembly Meeting). Therefore, those of you who are interested in joining the European clinical community and becoming member of ENCLE, the conference in Olomouc is the best way to do that.
More information about the joint ENCLE/IJCLE conference and details of how to register can be found in the official conference brochure and from the Northumbria Law School website.
In case you would like to participate, but you do not have sufficient financial funds, the ENCLE might also have the possibility to support you. For more information on it, please contact ENCLE Secretary, Ulrich Stege (ustege{at}iuctorino.it).
The ENCLE Board is looking forward to meeting you in Olomouc!
