'Clinical educators the world over are seeking to transform legal education into 'justice education' in a quest to make the system serve the changing needs for justice in our times. In Asia, the mission includes legal empowerment, rule of law, and search for non-litigative methods for access to justice. This compilation of law school-based clinical experiments in Asia provides interesting insights on the way the mission for 'justice education' is shaping up in the region. It is essential reading to all stakeholders of the legal and judicial establishment.' N.R. Madhava Menon, Hon. Professor International Bar Association Chair on Continuing Legal Education, National Law School of India University, Bangalore, India

It is an important addition to the growing literature on the spread of clinical legal education around the world.' Frank Bloch, Professor of Law Emeritus, Vanderbilt University, USA
