Kosovo Law Students Conduct First "Trial"

Wearing court gowns and performing the roles of prosecutors, attorneys and judges, a group of students from the University of Prishtina Law Faculty conducted a simulated criminal trial. Held before a public audience, the mock trial is part of a legal clinic program that links theoretical knowledge with hands-on training for law school graduates.

The July 15 trial event was the culmination of joint efforts by Criminal Department students and legal experts engaged in the actual preparatory phase of the mock trial. Experts worked closely with students in building the criminal case. Both experts and students—who, for the first time, faced an actual court case—felt that the performance was a success.

The simulated trial was held in the Pristina District Court on June 15th. The Legal Clinic Project is supported by USAID and implemented by the American Bar Association/Central European and Eurasian Law Initiative and the University of Prishtina Law Faculty.
