Ten Aggie Law students, led by Associate Deans Cynthia Alkon & Charlotte Ku, traveled to Cambodia to explore firsthand the challenges of developing rule of law in a post-conflict environment. The students examined how the history of conflicts and genocide have impacted the Cambodian legal system. Through hands-on experience, they also investigated the issues of environmental law, land rights and labor arbitration affecting Cambodia today.
