SiLNoRF Strengthens Law student internship Programme
The Sierra Leone Network on the Right to Food (SiLNoRF) Secretariat is conducting capacity-building and orientation sessions for interns under its Law Student Internship Programme, as part of the Community Legal Empowerment and Environmental Justice Programme (CLEEnJustice).
The training strengthens interns’ practical skills in legal, policy and community-based research, including developing research questions, identifying credible sources, analysing laws and policies, organising evidence, professional note-taking, case documentation and report writing.
Through practical exercises, interns are also learning to distinguish facts from opinions and legal arguments, prepare structured reports, and work in two research cohorts on assigned topics. The training also focuses on professional note-taking, documenting cases and community experiences, and preparing structured reports that present findings, analysis, conclusions and recommendations. Through practical exercises, the interns are gaining essential skills to support evidence-based research and effective documentation of community legal empowerment and environmental justice issues.
Through CLEEnJustice, SiLNoRF continues to equip young legal minds to support evidence-based research, advocacy, access to justice, human rights and environmental justice in Sierra Leone.
As part of the process, the interns are being organised into two research cohorts and introduced to their respective research assignments, equipping them to contribute meaningfully to research, advocacy and community-centred justice initiatives.
