Middle East Legal Practitioners' Forum
To complement and enrich CIMEL's academic achievement, the Middle East Legal Practitioners' Forum (MELPF) was established at the end of 1990, jointly with Mrs Hilary Lewis-Rutley (Law and Development Programme, Institute of Advanced Legal Studies), to foster in particular the links with lawyers in London and in the Middle East. It has run a series of seminars lectures and conferences.
