In light of the potential role of paralegals as a catalyst for rural development in Africa, the ICJ has, in terms of its LRSA (Legal Services in Rural Areas) programme, organised paralegal training seminars in over ten African countries. These have resulted in the launching of national LSRA projects for the further consolidation of paralegal work in the participating countries. In all these seminars the need for a Trainer’s Manual had been expressed by the participants.

- Understanding the Concept of Paralegals

Developing a Paralegal Scheme

Deciding on the Type of Training
and Selecting Trainees

the Learning Process

-
Producing Material and the Plain Language Process
- The Teaching Process
- Monitoring and Evaluation
With List of organizations involved in paralegal work in Africa and References.
