Expression of Interest For Consultancy For The Revision Of The Curriculum For The Council Of Legal Education (Cle)

Expression of Interest for Consultancy for the Revision of the Curriculum for the Council of Legal Education (CLE). The review of the curriculum will review, redesign and upgrade the substantive, pedagogical and philosophical approaches to the curriculum of the law schools to better fulfil their mandate of providing relevant legal training, thereby enhancing legal education and professional practice in the region, promoting regional and international cross-fertilisation and improving the regional justice system. The legal education and training must also envelop these philosophical ideals in the curriculum. Non-traditional areas such as Social justice and Human Rights, Alternative Dispute Resolution, Commercial and cross border and Environmental law will form part of the review process. The review will be committed to a more socially relevant, community based legal training which will lead to the desire to expand the clinical model of legal education. The CLE will also interrogate whether its mandate logically necessitates an expansion of its legal education and training programmes to include new programmes in addition to its current Legal Education Certificate (LEC), currently offered for practising attorneys only. These additional programmes might include, for example, a Diploma Programme in Legal Skills, targeted for law clerks and related law actors, special programmes for law enforcement officers involved in court prosecutions, alternative dispute resolution certificates and the like. An initiative in this direction would considerably expand and upgrade the pool of judicial actors in the justice system.. Expressions of Interest must be received no later than 16:00 hours on Monday, 23 June 2025, and must be submitted by e-mail to: [email protected] . The CARICOM Secretariat reserves the right to reject all applications or to cancel the present invitation partially or in its entirety. It will not be bound to assign any reason for not short-listing any applicant and will not defray any costs incurred by any applicant in the preparation and submission of Expression of Interest.
