Freedom of Information Handbook for Law Clinics

Abstract

Freedom of Information Handbook for Law Clinics has been written to provide a guide to law teachers, law students and other persons working in the Law Clinics, human rights, access to justice and governance projects and programmes in Nigeria. The Handbook provides a basic text for the training of law teachers, students, supervisors and other actors on the use of the Freedom of Information Act. It includes a detailed curriculum and lessons on Freedom of Information. Since this is an emerging subject with limited judicial intervention, few judicial decisions published on the website of the Right to Know-R2K have been included (with R2K’s permission) in this volume. The Handbook is written by experienced law clinicians in Nigeria. Teachers, students and other governance trainers and users will find this handbook very useful.
