CCE Briefs Latin American Delegation

Recently CCE participated in a roundtable discussion for a State Department-sponsored visiting delegation from Latin America touring the US to learn about the administration of justice. Executive Director, June Kress talked about the work of the Council for Court Excellence over the last 32 years, about our unique court and justice system structure in DC, and about how civil society can and should be engaged in improving the administration of justice. 

The audience consisted of judges, attorneys, prosecutors, court clerks, and politicians from 6 countries: Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela.  The group was particularly interested in the CCE booklet, “Partnerships for Reform: Civil Society and the Administration of Justice,” published in 2000 for the World Bank’s Legal Institutions Thematic Group, available on the CCE website (click here).
