"I take great satisfaction in the idea that the values that underscored [Thomson Reuters as a business] in the late 1800s are alive and well today. We have a mission that guides our work – We help the legal system perform better, every day, worldwide. And each of our 15,000 employees works hard to bring this mission to life – supporting lawyers, law schools, the courts and governments around the world...

We could have no better partner on this journey than Books for Africa and the Jack Mason Law & Democracy Initiative. Working together, we have sent West law books to 53 law schools, bar associations, court systems, human rights and women’s legal organizations in 18 African countries. Each of these legal books helps to strengthen the foundation of the Rule of Law on the African continent. That is noble work, for which Books for Africa should be applauded. "
