Tashkent, July 28 2006 - Law students together with legal experts and trainers of the Legal Clinic under the University of World Economy and Diplomacy (UWED) organize training on the  "Law on heritage" in makhalla “Dustlik”, Mirzo Ulugbek district of Tashkent. Main objective of the training is to promote knowledge in the field of rights on heritage among the population.

This training is focused on a wide group of people of different age and determined by high interest and demand to obtain knowledge in this sphere of legislation. The issue of legal aspects of heritage was selected based on the opinion poll conducted in makhalla “Dustlik” .

During this event, people of makhalla “Dustlik” will learn about legal aspects of inheritance and get answers to their questions concerning succession issues. Round table discussions consist of theoretical and practical parts.

This activity would also be an effective way of strengthening knowledge and skills in this sphere of law for students-clinicians.  It is a first training for students-clinicians of such kind.   Student of the Legal Clinic, Ms. Liliya Kushlubaeva said: "I really hope that information we will provide them will be useful and essential during process of settlement issues related to heritage".

I’m very interested in becoming knowledgeable in legal aspects of heritage, and I am sure for most of my neighbors particularly this is very important  to learn concrete normative acts and their mechanism which regulate heritage aspects".
