Mr. Mirsad Ćeman, President of the Constitutional Court of BiH gave a lecture to the students at the Law of Faculty of the University of Sarajevo today.

The “International and European Human Rights Law Clinic” is a form of informal education organized by ELSA for the last two years. The “Clinic” gathers legal experts and academics who endeavour to get students familiar with the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the Strasbourg case-law by giving lectures.
