ALEP is a joint initiative between the Stanford Law School and CDDRL's Program on State Building and Rule of Law, dedicated to designing legal curricula and textbooks for the next generation of Afghan lawyers. This fact-finding mission to Kabul gave six student leaders the opportunity to meet with their Afghan counterparts at the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF).
