BACKGROUND

The Vietnamese government has demonstrated a strong commitment and dedication to ensuring social and political stability as well as economic progress, as evidenced by the policies and changes implemented over the years. The introduction of Doi Moi (reform) in 1986 has put Vietnam in a position to prosper and flourish economically. The legal system is under revision, as demonstrated by the 1992 Constitution and 1988 Criminal Procedure Code. More recently, Vietnam became the 150th member of the World Trade Organization (WTO).With these new developments, Vietnam is in the process of bringing its legal system up to international standards and is introducing many new laws and needs help to implement them. Improvements in laws relating to legal aid and rights of lawyers, too, while providing new opportunities, also create more needs for training, in terms of lawyers' professional skills.
