1Efforts to encourage the legal community to play a catalytic role in sustained legal development in Rwanda gave rise to specific, and in some cases life-threatening, challenges. This article explores the role of the Corps of Judicial Defenders in Rwanda and its potential to contribute both to the immediate challenge of providing legal representation to thousands of accused and victims in genocide trials and to the longer-term development of the justice system.
