Access to Justice Exchange
27-30 Nov & 4-7 Dec 2023
The Access to Justice Exchange (“A2J Exchange”) is a series of workshops, forums, and roundtables that are held in the days before and after each APBC. The A2J Exchange provides opportunities for conference participants to attend access to justice-related workshops. These events will vary in both thematic focus and in participant groups involved. Some of the events will be open to persons from around the globe to register (via a separate registration process from the APBC) while other events and workshops will be conducted through a pre-selection process. Similarly, while some A2JX events focus on the intersection of pro bono and access to justice, all will have strong relevance to justice issues in both the Asia region and globally.
