Professional Responsibility Forum

In Argentina, the Vance Center is collaborating with the Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de San Andres on a Professional Responsibility Forum that will provide a space for young lawyers principally in Buenos Aires to discuss the social responsibility of the legal profession in their country. The Forum, a pilot project and the first of its kind in the region, will develop and broaden the community of lawyers acting to improve the legal system, access to justice work and legal education in Argentina, and to give that community a forum to discuss its aspirations. Forum participants will identify and implement pro bono projects. They will also work on the development of an ethic curriculum for use in law schools in Argentina and other countries in the region.
