From the Bench to the Classroom: Judges in Dialogue

Apr 2026

Columbia Law School has a distinguished cohort of students including current and former judges. Before the semester ends, let's hear about their journeys from the judicial dais to CLS classrooms and how justice is delivered in Brazil, Thailand, Singapore, and India, in comparison with the United States. In collaboration with the PI/PS Office, we are thrilled to invite you to a panel talk with:

1. Michael Procopio Avelar, Judge - Brazil
2. Meena Jitkati, Judge - Thailand
3. Ee Hsiun Chong, Former Judicial Officer - Singapore
4. Priya Baranwal, Former Judge - India.

It is a great opportunity to have a candid conversation with them around the basic principles of justice, the role of digital technology and AI in justice delivery, and challenges faced in other jurisdictions around the world.
