2006 WORLDWIDE CONFERENCE OF THE GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR JUSTICE EDUCATION
27 November - 2 December
Cordoba, Argentina

GAJE held its 4th global conference in Cordoba, Argentina from 27 November until 2 December 2006. The theme was 'Educating Lawyers for Social Justice: Law, Poverty and Social Change'. The conference looked at various methods for educating lawyers, particularly clinical legal education, which focus on advocacy and the formation of policy.

Poverty and social change are of pressing concern to those involved in justice education in South America, and around the world. How can the law both serve and lead social justice?  How can the law redress the devastating harms of poverty arising from some forms of social change?  Such questions provided the context for the conference's discussion of justice education, which was structured for the most part around small group and workshop sessions.
