In order to facilitate this improvement and re-orientation in legal education,
concrete proposals and discussions among legal educators in the different Member

curricula, the boundaries and frameworks must be laid down. Before the ASEAN law
student may be given an opportunity to develop an understanding of the opportunities
and possibilities that are opening up for him or her in the region, there must also be a
shift in the culture of the academe brought about by a considerable appreciation of the
impact of the ASEAN Charter in giving shape to the “common desire to live in a region
of lasting peace, security and stability, sustained economic growth, shared prosperity
and social progress.
