American delegation talks judicial reform in Mongolia
A delegation from a law school in the U.S. state of Texas recently completed a trip to Mongolia to talk about judicial reform.
The four-person delegation from the Texas Wesleyan University School of Law met with Mongolian judicial officials and law students.
The law school has been working with Mongolia since the democratic revolution in 1992. “I presented information to the future lawyers of the country,” said Judge Justin Lewis, a member of the delegation. “Hopefully we can work together to find solutions to judicial reform in the country.”
In Ulaanbaatar the delegation also met with the state secretary of the Ministry of Justice. There were extended discussions about the juvenile justice system in Texas, since Mongolia currently has limited options for dealing with youthful offenders. “If a suspect is 13 or younger there is no punishment, even if they commit a murder,” Judge Lewis explained. “On the other hand, if they are 14 or older, they are automatically tried as an adult.”
