Reaching more than 2,500 students, lawyers and judges worldwide, our legal education programs teach practical legal skills and cultivate interest in the rule of law.

Building legal capacity in Bhutan
White & Case is collaborating with the Kingdom of Bhutan on Bhutan’s Royal Law Project. Our work includes setting up a law library, running legal training seminars and providing pro bono advice on topics such as foreign direct investment and corporate law. Starting in 2012, the Firm will also sponsor scholarships to allow Bhutanese students to pursue LLB degrees at Indian universities.

As a result of the collaboration, the first law library in Bhutan, known as the White & Case Law Library, was opened in July 2011. Located in Thimphu, the capital, the library offers access to legal reference databases previously unavailable in the country, as well as legal treatises, statutes, and other law books and materials. Prior to the opening, the Firm provided interactive training sessions on how to use the library's legal reference databases to judges, lawyers and clerks from throughout Bhutan, including from the Supreme and High Courts.

A small nation located in the Himalaya Mountains, Bhutan is undergoing an unprecedented transition from absolute monarchy to democracy, holding its first-ever parliamentary elections in 2007.
