Lawyers with clients

  • Under the supervision of the clinic’s faculty and experts in the field, students work on litigation, policy, and advocacy projects involving human rights violations at home and abroad.
  • Students may draft petitions or thematic hearing requests before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, submit amicus curiae briefs before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, draft “shadow reports” for U.N. human rights bodies, document, analyze, and publish reports of human rights violations, develop advocacy campaigns and policy initiatives on behalf on human rights victims, and write research memos for leading human rights experts and institutions.
  • Students may also travel to carry out fieldwork and fact-finding missions to investigate human rights violations, interview clients, and participate in public and private hearings before international human rights bodies.
