The project covered the \ud83d\udcd8<\/strong> Civil and Commercial Code in its entirety<\/strong>, focusing on rights, duties, and legal relationships relevant to everyday life. It aimed to help participants gain a clearer understanding of fundamental legal principles, while also creating an open platform for students and teachers to express their views on how Thai law should evolve to meet modern social contexts.<\/p>

  1.
