American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative in Moscow, Russia
Abstract
Having been born in Russia and hoping to use my knowledge of the language and culture in my legal career, I was very excited to receive an opportunity to intern with the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative (ABA ROLI) in Moscow for the summer of 2009. ABA ROLI has been operating in Russia since 1992 and is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Since its inception in Russia, ABA ROLI has been instrumental in reintroducing jury trials, drafting a new criminal procedure code, establishing clinical legal education programs, introducing a training program for social advocates to aid in their work with domestic violence victims, and supporting the implementation of judicial and legal professional codes of ethics.
