Asia CLE Mock Sentencing Hearing 

We’re delighted to announce the successful completion of the 2024 Asia CLE Mock Sentencing Hearing Workshop & Event. This event, aimed at strengthening the rule of law, fair trial, and access to justice across the region while also raising awareness about Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and strategies to combat it, was a resounding success. Organized by BABSEACLE, in collaboration with numerous justice sector partners, the event provided a virtual platform for aspiring legal professionals from various Asian countries to enhance their legal skills, expand their knowledge, and reinforce their commitment to fair trial, access to justice and Rule of Law principles.

Building upon the achievements of previous editions, the 2024 Asia CLE Mock Sentencing Hearing was a collaborative initiative offering practical learning experiences. This event provided participants with a unique opportunity to engage in an abbreviated form of the Standard/Traditional Mock Trial. Specifically, participants delved into the sentencing hearing phase of a GBV-related case, grappling with the question of appropriate penalties for individuals already found guilty or having pled guilty during a criminal trial.

Looking Ahead

While the 2024 event has concluded, we’re already gearing up for the next iteration. Stay tuned for updates on the 2025 Asia CLE Mock Sentencing Hearing Workshop & Event, where we’ll continue our mission to empower future legal practitioners and promote justice across the region.

Thank you to all participants, organizers, and partners for making the 2024 event a tremendous success. We look forward to your continued support and participation in our future initiatives.
