Many congratulations to Professor James Cavallaro, Director of the International Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Clinic, on his having been elected yesterday to be one of the seven members of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR). This is an extraordinarily important position that will allow Jim to carry on his tireless efforts to promote human rights in the Americas.

Thankfully, this is not a position that will require Jim to give up his directorship of the International Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Clinic, which will continue to operate with students as a vital part of the Mills Legal Clinic.
