The Legal Training Institute officially launched its Legal Aid program on Saturday.
Part of the 23 subjects at the LTI, the Legal Aid program aims to offer legal assistance to people whilst providing a practical application of what trainees learn at the institute.
LTI Director, Pauline Mogish, encouraged the trainees to put into practice what they learn and be mindful of the ethics of their profession.
Present to officially launch the program was the Acting Public Solicitor, Leslie Mamu, who spoke about how his organisation is funded by the government to offer legal aid service to the people.
Meantime, this course work is a competency based program for entry level lawyers.
