This was a most memorable day for ten young lawyers being presented with the centre’s first letters of scholarship. Our heart-felt thanks go out to our sponsors, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and Aktion Afrika of the German Foreign Office, for their support, and to all those who actively contributed to the inauguration’s success.
