Clinic Without Borders12th International Journal of Clinical Legal Education Conference

In Association with2nd European Network for Clinical Legal Education Conference

IntroductionThe International Journal of Clinical Legal Education at Northumbria University is proud to announce its 12th annual international legal education conference. Previous conferences have been held in London (2003), Edinburgh (2004), Melbourne (2005), London (2006), Johannesburg (2007), Cork (2008), Perth/Fremantle (2009), Newcastle upon Tyne (2010), Valencia (2011), Durham (2012) and Brisbane (2013).

These conferences serve as a unique forum in which clinical educators from many jurisdictions come together to discuss all aspects of clinical teaching and learning, to learn from one another and to share best practice. Further information is available at www.ijcle.com.

The conference will bring together academics, lawyers, students and social activists with an exciting mix of keynote speech, panel discussion, formal presentation and interactive workshop sessions. There will be lots of opportunity for participation, collaboration and dialogue.

The European Network for Clinical Legal Education (ENCLE) is a European-wide association established in 2013 with the main goal to promote clinical legal education in Europe. In order to achieve this goal, ENCLE supports exchange of information and networking, organises conferences, workshops and training sessions, raises funds to further promote clinics and communicates and cooperates with other entities in order to support the idea of clinical legal education in Europe. The first ENCLE conference was held on Warsaw in 2013, but it is symbolic that the second conference will be held in Olomouc at the very heart of ENCLE. The significance of this latest development in the area of clinical legal education in Europe will be reflected in a special European stream within the conference.

The conference will be held at the Faculty of Law of Palacký University in Olomouc with the option of an additional session in Prague on 18th July 2014.

Sightseeing & Social Events

Olomouc City The ancient town of Olomouc lies in the heart of the so-calledHanáregion.Itshistorydatesbacktothe10thcentury AD when it became an important trade crossing-point. It has the second most significant collection of historical monuments in the country after Prague. The second oldest university in the Czech lands was founded in Olomouc in the year 1573. Olomouc was considered the capital of Moravia from the Luxembourgian period up until the 17th century. During the Thirty Years War with the town’s occupation by the Swedish army, the town was destroyed to a large extent and lost its leading position. Today, the city has a population of over 100,000 inhabitants. It is the fifth largest city in the Czech Republic and the seat of the Olomouc Region.

Conference Dinner - Archbishop´s PalaceThe Archbishop´s Palace belongs to many valuable historical sights the City of Olomouc can offer to its visitors. Throughout the history many significant events took place in the Archbishop´s Palace. Among them the most important are visit of Empress Maria Theresa, enthronization of Emperor Franz Joseph I, signing of a peace treaty called “Agreement of Olmütz”, and more recently the visit of Pope John Paul II. Since it was built, the Archbishop’s Palace has always been a residence of bishops and since 1777 archbishops of Olomouc.

The bishop’s residence has undergone several reconstructions realized by leading European architects and painters. The last major reconstruction of the Palace was implemented after a fire in 1904 under the Archbishop Francis Bauer. Many prominent personalities visited the Palace; including Franz Joseph I. who ascended the Imperial throne here in 1848.

Sightseeing & Social Events

Guided Tour of Olomouc – UNESCO Heritage Since2000theHolyTrinityColumnhasbeeninscribedontheUNESCOWorldHeritageList.TheHolyTrinityColumnin Olomouc dominates the city centre and its grandiosity easily takes a visitor’s breath away. It is the largest group of Baroque statues within a single sculptural monument in Central Europe. The column reaches a height of 35 metres and its lower part houses a seasonally accessible chapel.

Town hall with horologe dominates the Upper Square. For more than six centuries it was a symbol of economic and political importance of the former royal capital of Moravia. Today it is the most important monument of non-religious architecture in Olomouc and, besides the Archbishop’s Palace and six ancient churches, it is the only monument with public or representative function still serving its original purpose today, accommodating the headquarters of the elected city government and its office.TheconstructionoftheOlomoucTownHallwitha mercantile house was allowed by a privilege from the Moravian Margrave Jost of Luxembourg in 1378.

Svatý Kopeček (The Holy Hill)

is a popular excursion and pilgrimage site in the region andissituatedinthefoothillsoftheHrubýJeseníkmountain range at an altitude of 382 metres above sea level, a mere eight kilometres from the centre of the City of Olomouc. Its location, varied terrain and lovely forest plant life along with its valley streams and rivers amount to ideal conditions for sports and recreation. The area is also criss-crossed by an abundance of trails for both hiking and cycling. The Church of the Visitation to the Virgin Mary makes up the most prominent feature of the locale offering up, weather permitting, a view all the way to Praděd peak. The local zoological gardens are spread out over approximately 42 hectares of land in the neighbouring mixed forests. Not far from the baroque church is a cross placed there in the year 1909 by the grandparentsofthepoetJiříWolkerinordertoexpresstheir joy on the birth of a grandson. The house where the poetlivedandwrotethefamouspoemSvatýKopečekinthe year 1921 has been preserved.
