12/17/2024

Bounyasith Daopasith, appointed by the Lao Bar Association, presented a comprehensive Vision and Strategy Plan for the years 2025-2035 to lawyers in the southern region of Laos. Unveiled on December 17th and 18th, 2024, in Thakek, Khammuan Province, the plan outlines a series of critical goals to address the challenges faced by Lao lawyers and elevate the legal profession.

"This plan is a significant step forward for the Lao Bar Association," said Bounyasith Daopasith, who presented the plan to lawyers in the southern region of Laos. "By focusing on infrastructure development, capacity building, and gender equality, we can create a stronger, more equitable, and more effective legal profession."

Key Goals of the Plan:

While the plan encompasses a wide range of initiatives, three key goals stand out:

  1. Infrastructure Development: The Lao Bar Association aims to acquire land and establish its own office building, creating a centralized hub for legal professionals. This will improve accessibility to legal services for the public and foster collaboration among lawyers.

  2. Capacity Building: Through targeted training programs and professional development initiatives, the plan seeks to empower Lao lawyers with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in their practice and contribute to the nation's legal system.

  3. Gender Equality: Promoting gender equality is a cornerstone of the plan. By encouraging women to pursue legal careers and creating a supportive work environment, the Lao Bar Association aims to ensure equal opportunities for all.

By prioritizing these key areas, the Lao Bar Association is committed to strengthening the legal profession and contributing to the overall development of Laos.
