GAJE Accomplishments
In the 12 years since its founding in 1996, GAJE has worked to promote justice through education by convening four worldwide meetings on justice education: in India (1999), South Africa (2001), Poland (2004) and Argentina (2006). These meetings were carefully designed to be accessible and affordable for persons from developing countries; delegates from every continent and over 50 countries have participated in one or more meeting. The fifth worldwide meeting will take place December 7-13, 2008 in the Philippines.
GAJE has also organized regional conferences in Australasia (2002) and North America (2006) and co-sponsored the International Conference on the Future of Legal Education held in February 2008. GAJE operates a free email discussion forum for its members and publishes a newsletter in both English and Spanish every other month distributed by email and posted on the GAJE web site.
These formal GAJE activities have facilitated a wide range of cross-national collaborations, including educational exchange programs, joint research projects, "train the trainer" workshops, teaching handbooks, curricular materials, and multinational co-authorship of books and articles.
