Graduate Olha Nizhnychenko On The Value Of The Tomorrow’s Lawyer Program

A graduate of the “Tomorrow’s Lawyer” Program Olga Nizhnichenko became the author  of the column “History of Success” of the fund program by Bogdan Havrylyshyn “Youth to change Ukraine”. In her success story, the lawyer spoke about the work in Switzerland and the experience of the “Tomorrow’s Lawyer” Program:

“This Program is truly one of a kind thanks to the talented trainer-expert staff, active participants from all over Ukraine and carefully selected educational materials. The “Tomorrow’s Lawyer” Program has a bold goal – Ukraine’s Bar as an independent self-governing institute should lead to the best world practices in the field of justice and, ultimately, “cure” the legal system of Ukraine from chronic diseases. At the same time, the emphasis is placed on the professional ethics of the lawyer, leadership for the protection of human rights, improving soft skills in working with the client, interaction with the court, opponents, other process participants, rules of communication and work with the media – issues that are, unfortunately, disregarded in the national law schools, but from the mastery of which, a civilized law society begins”.

Dear participants, the Tomorrow’s Lawyer Program will be happy to receive and share with the entire community of the Program your success stories and professional life events. Please email us at: info@tomorrowslawyer.org.
