I recently returned home from helping to teach an advocacy training course in Gaborone, Botswana. The course was sponsored by Justice Advocacy Africa and the Law Society of Botswana (LSB). JAA is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting "confidence in and respect for legal institutions in African countries through providing professional advocacy training for African lawyers." The LSB regulates practicing lawyers in Botswana, promotes pro-bono service, and engages in activities to promote greater access to justice in Botswana.
