Clinical Legal Education as a Means to Assist Reforming the Thailand Legal Education
With a focus on Clinical Legal Education (CLE) as a means to assist reforming the Thailand legal education system, BABSEACLE Foundation is supporting and connecting other CLE programmes internationally and regionally to develop strong collaborations, synergies and best practices in CLE methodology.
BABSEACLE Foundation is a registered local non-profit, non-governmental organization in Thailand which developed from a programme of BABSEACLE in 2010. It is an independent organization that pursues its own individual, yet complementary, mission. Throughout Thailand, BABSEACLE Foundation currently works on and develops Clinical Legal Education (CLE) and Community Empowerment Initiatives.
