Professor Xuan-Thao Nguyen conducted training workshops for legal professionals in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, December 25-28. It was the first training for judges on secured transactions law in the nation.

The workshop was attended by 36 appellate judges, 30 prosecutors, and officers from the Cambodia Ministry of Justice, the Royal Academy of Judicial Professions, Ministry of Commerce, and banks from across the nation.

"It was an honor to be the key speaker and trainer for each of the four days," Professor Nguyen said of the experience.
