Inter-American Collaborative Law hopes to send a delegation to Venezuela this Spring. We are a group of young law students interested in experiencing a foreign legal system and society first-hand. We hope to foster understanding between the two nations by developing relationships with legal advocates and other Venezuelans. Because of the current climate of hostility between U.S. and Venezuelan leaders, we feel that person-to-person exchanges between citizens are crucial to preserving peace and addressing global poverty.
