Despite the current joint national and international efforts towards peacebuilding and strengthening good governance by establishing competent, efficient, and accountable legal institutions, Somalia is still facing obstacles in its efforts to protect human rights, implement the rule of law, and access-to-justice principles.
Mogadishu University Legal Clinic established on September 1st, 2016 responds to these problems through delivering high quality clinical legal education, providing free, sustainable and pro-poor legal services to vulnerable groups, and raising awareness among key criminal justice stakeholders.
