| Description: | The Judicial Exchange and Study Academy — Academia de Intercambio y Estudios Judiciales (AIEJ) — develops judicial training programs in many areas, including the values of judicial independence and work efficiency for judges, prosecutors, advocates and court staff in Latin America. Since 2013, I have presented trainings on the Inter-American Human Rights System to the 35-40 judges from Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Peru who have participated in the annual program at SUNY Buffalo Law School. The Latin American judges include jurists working in civil and criminal courts, appeals courts and labor courts. The AIEJ was founded in 2010 and is based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. |
