A meaningful day at Cornell Law School.
The Cornell Law community joined distinguished members of Thailand’s legal community for the renewal of a Memorandum of Agreement first established in 2007, marking nearly two decades of academic exchange, professional collaboration, and friendship.
Dean Jens Ohlin and Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff joined members of the Thai Bar, including The Honorable Chief Justice Adisak Tantiwong, and the Thailand Institute of Justice, including Professor Dr. Kittipong Kittayarak, LL.M. ’83, for this special occasion.
The gathering also included a tribute to the life and legacy of Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitiyabha, LL.M. ’02, J.S.D. ’05, who passed away in June, and to her enduring commitment to justice and public service.
