For the past two years, the Malaysian Centre for Constitutionalism and Human Rights has been organising trainings on strategic litigation for lawyers. The strategic litigation trainings were the first of its kind in Malaysia and as such, much of the training modules and methodology were modified and fine-tuned to ensure that the training achieved its desired objectives. To ensure posterity and to share the experience, knowledge and information to other trainers interested in strategic litigation training, the Centre developed the Strategic Litigation Training Manual for Lawyers.

The Manual is a fusion of the work of all the trainers in the past two years, their experience, and lessons learnt. This Manual is a starting point on strategic litigation training for lawyers and touches on human rights, strategic litigation, legal advocacy, and non-legal advocacy.
