The Clinic is a rewarding and rejuvenating space for reflection and growth.

Over the quarter, I learned a ton about what responsible and effective human rights work looks like. My substantive knowledge of human rights law was nonexistent before the Clinic. I’ve come far from there, and now have a broad familiarity with the substance of human rights law—but that’s not really the most important thing.

The Clinic allowed students to develop deep connections with one another and with human rights practitioners around the world.

The Clinic is process-oriented and our work developed through collaboration and engagement with one another.

We worked with human rights advocates around the world to advocate before bodies that affect human rights, including international commissions and US administrative agencies.

There is considerable space and autonomy to pursue your own interests within the parameters of any given project and to shape the direction of your work. The Clinic allowed students to develop deep connections with one another and with human rights practitioners around the world. The clinical faculty are excellent. Gulika is a masterful teacher and Shaw is a wonderful mentor. Together, they bring an incredible wealth of experience, and I look forward to seeking their guidance and advice for years to come.
