ELAW Fellowships Unforgettable

ELAW Fellows are doing great work!  In February, we welcomed Francis Colee from Liberia, Kwesi Instiful from Ghana, and Merab Barbakadze from Georgia.  In March, we welcomed Mariana Méndez from Panama and Jean André Victor from Haiti.  ELAW Fellows dedicate their lives to seeking justice for the world’s most impoverished communities.  Before returning to Tblisi, Merab shared a common sentiment: “I feel myself charged with new positive energy, skills, and knowledge!” Read more about our recent Fellows in the following.
