Through the COMBAR Africa Committee, COMBAR has been proud to join a number of law firms in supporting this year's International Lawyers for Africa (ILFA) programme both financially and by offering the opportunity of mini-pupillages in COMBAR sets to ILFA candidates who are practising lawyers selected to spend three months training in the UK.

Candidates from Botswana, Cameroon, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia and Sierra Leone spent time at 3-4 South Square, 3 Verulam Buildings and Tanfield Chambers as part of their programme. For more information about ILFA see http://www.ilfa.org.uk/

The COMBAR Africa Committee is encouraging other commercial sets to become involved in the coming year.
