The Trina Grillo Law Retreat provides a unique opportunity for public interest and social justice-oriented law students, faculty, and practitioners to exchange viewpoints, explore career opportunities, and formulate strategies for social justice.

The Trina Grillo Retreat, co-sponsored by SALT and a consortium of West Coast law schools, honors the memory of Trina Grillo, a dedicated social activist and justice advocate. The Retreat offers public-interest minded law school students an opportunity to interact with lawyers, legal academics, and other professionals and to spawn creative ways of using the law to make social change.

This year's Retreat, "Global Social Justice Lawyering,” will promote an informative exchange among practitioners, students and academics about a broad range of themes including: the intersection of international human rights law and environmental law; the application of international human rights law to civil legal services; international criminal justice work. The program will include plenary sessions on international human rights careers and emerging models of international pro bono as well as a training on Freeing Political Prisoners.
