Earlier this month, I was honored to be chosen as the co-master of ceremony for the launch of the first legal incubator in Eastern Europe. This initiative, created by Fulbright Scholar Fred Rooney and Attorney Daniela Mihaylova of Bulgaria’s Equal Opportunities Initiative Association (EOIA), is aimed at helping law students and young lawyers gain the skills they will eventually need to be able to serve vulnerable groups in their society that oftentimes lack access to affordable legal representation. Fred, known by the American Bar Association’s ABA Journal as the “Father of Legal Incubators” and Daniela credit the Trust for Social Achievement, EOIA and the Open Society Foundation for helping to make the creation of the incubator possible. Here is a glimpse into the day’s activities. Please enjoy.
