Dear BABSEA CLE Friends and Supporters,
Happy Holidays from all of us at BABSEA CLE. We cannot believe this amazing year has come to a close. In the months passing in the final quarter of 2013 our organization has been involved in numerous enthusing workshops, conferences and events. This newsletter is teeming with passionate articles written by, and about, the experiences of our BABSEA CLE hardworking team members, interns, volunteers and partners. During this end of the year quarter, like the rest of the year, there has been vital work done on ensuring access to justice through improving legal education.
Within this newsletter, you will be updated on many of our latest projects and activities written with first hand experiences. These events have included the 3rd Access to Justice Public Interest Fair, 2nd South East Asia/Asia Pro Bono Conference and Workshop, the Clinical Legal Education as a Means to Assist in Reforming the Thailand Legal Education System: Regional and International Experiences and Perspectives Conference and the Global Alliance for Justice Education 7th Worldwide Conference.
We also want to share with you our preparations and excitement for our 5th Trio For Justice weekend that takes place in less than 3 weeks (January 11-12th) http://www.trioforjustice.org.
We also have articles about our team’s involvement in BABSEA CLE reflecting their dedication and hard work for our organization.
Finally, as the year closes BABSEA CLE would like to announce that our next SE Asia/Asia Pro Bono Conference and Workshop, which will be done in partnership with the Law Society of Singapore, will take place on October 9th-11th, 2014. More details on this event will be coming soon in the annual BABSEA CLE magazine which you will receive in early 2014.
In this season of goodwill and kindness we want to share with you our gratitude for your support which has led to so much of our team and partners’ significant accomplishments. We hope and believe that the next year will continue to be as impactful and far reaching.
Thank you again for making the difference you make,
The BABSEA CLE Team
