Bhutan is a small, remote country trying to reap the benefits of modernization while preserving its traditional culture. That may explain why yes, you can fly there, but no, it is not easy. Try to book a flight to Paro, Bhutan through a common travel website. "Sorry, we couldn't find any flights." No, if you want to journey to Bhutan, you are going to have to work at it a little harder than that.
And Bhutan is remote. A 36 hour travel itinerary, starting with the flight from Delhi to Bhutan and working backwards, was the best I could do. Most of those hours are spent in the plane. 
IN JUSTICE, SERVICE & WISDOMI came to Bhutan to be a small part of turning this lofty goal into a reality for Bhutan's legal  system through a new kind of education at Jigme Singye Wangchuck (JSW) School of Law. The symbolism of an elaborate campus built on a hill is not lost on my. But the real work is yet to come.

    My career has focused on human rights. I managed an office providing legal aid to low-income people with civil legal problems. I teach classes at Missouri Western State University that focus on human rights and use applied learning approaches. I work internationally to bring this approach to law schools, their faculty and students.
    I share my travels in hopes you will get a view of a part of the world I have found interesting, challenging or rewarding to work in. I request permission from subjects in photos whenever a person will be a central, identifiable part of the photo. Some of the best photos are never taken, or are just missed by me.
