In June/July 2019, CAPI hosted thirty-five Thai judges for a two-week intensive “Judicial Training on Family Law and Youth Justice” program, developed and delivered in partnership with Alison MacPhail, former Deputy Minister with BC Ministry of Children and Family Development and Executive Lead for Criminal Justice Reform in the Government of BC. The Thai delegation was led by Ms. Boonmee Thitarsiri, Vice-President of Thailand’s Supreme Court. The comprehensive program included lectures and presentations from UVic Law faculty, local practicing lawyers, and public service representatives, observations of proceedings at the provincial courthouse, and a visit to a youth social service centre.
