Current Legal Issues as Street Law in Bhutan

Our Current Legal Issues class' last circle, a traditional and restorative justice strategy for growth and learning. These students took the challenge to research and write about a topic that they then took out into the community. They wrestled with issues involving wrongful convictions, women's reproductive rights, due process issues, privacy rights, the right to information, juvenile rights, and LGBTQ rights all semester. They stepped out of their comfort zone to navigate through the bureaucracy of JSW School of Law so they could teach about and advocate for others' rights. They are the future of the legal profession in their brand new democracy Bhutan. I am fortunate to have worked with them last semester and catch a glimpse of what they can do in their careers. Thank you all for your good work.
