Over the years the group has provided over 6,000 text books and training DVDs to the legal resource centre in Kampala and ten regional centres: provided training to over 1,200 Ugandan lawyers and 2,000 postgraduate law students; helped promote respect for the rule of law; and with financial support from the Law Society provides legal representation and advice fr children in Patongo, northern Uganda, in partnership with chance for childhood and the Uganda Law Society.
Kate Donaldson, Partner at Ramsdens commented: "Whilst we were not successful against the might of large law firms it was fantastic that the local project was nominated."
Well done to all those nominated and the winners.
