KAFU Launches a Legal Clinic: Meeting with Lawyer Alexander Giterman

On April 16, 2025, an important meeting was held at the Kazakh-American Free University, opening a new stage in the development of practice-oriented legal education. Representatives of the KAFU administration, faculty and students of the Department of Law and International Relations held a productive meeting with lawyer Alexander Giterman.

The key topic of discussion was the opening of a legal clinic at the university – an innovative educational project aimed at providing free legal assistance to the population and developing practical skills in law students.

Alexander Giterman, who has significant professional legal experience, shared practical recommendations on organizing the work of the clinic, the use of AI in legal activities, spoke about the legal and ethical aspects of advocacy, and also answered numerous questions from students. Of particular interest were real cases from advocacy practice, which will help future lawyers better understand the specifics of human rights work. The establishment of a legal clinic at KAFU will become an important platform for developing practical skills of students, interacting with the professional community and increasing the level of legal literacy among citizens.

The meeting took place in a warm and firendly atmosphere, becoming a good start for further fruitful cooperation.
