In 2003, JES organized a delegation of public legal education experts to travel to China and meet with officials from the Government of China to discuss how public legal education is being developed in the country and how it can be used to increase citizen awareness of justice reform. Delegation members meet with Government officials in Beijing, Shangai and Quangchow.
