CLE Foundation hosted seven interns from Thaksin University and Kasetsart University for the Legal Studies Clinic 2014. Through the Legal Studies Clinic interns learned about CLE (Clinical Legal Education), team building, legal English Class, working with an international organization and management and administrative systems. Interns applied their community teaching training by teaching single mothers at the Wildflower Home Foundation.
The clinic also includes academic field trips to observing trials and legal advocacy in various cases to learn more about the judicial system. Interns had the opportunity to work with the Faculty of Law at Chiang Mai University to learn about the in-house clinic and administration law clinic operations. The interns trained and worked closely with the legal trainer and international interns participating in the International Externship Legal Studies Clinic. We are proud of the great work the interns did during their stay with us. The interns gained valuable skills and experiences which they can apply to their law school clinics.
