The Legal Case Management project was initiated by the Internet Rights Bulgaria Foundation (IRBF, www.irbf.ngo-bg.org) in July 2004, as a result of research and collaboration with various Bulgarian legal advice centres and the Cambridge Independent Advice Centre (CIAC, www.ciac.org.uk) in 2003.

The project was made possible with the financial support of the Information Program of the Open Society Institute (OSI, www.soros.org), and with the collaboration of the Law Program of the Bulgarian Open Society Institute (OSI-bg, www.osi.bg).
