International Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Clinic
We train law students to be critical and creative human rights lawyers.
Students work with civil society on a range of human rights advocacy projects and participate in a seminar where they learn a broad array of skills from the human rights and conflict resolution fields.
We effect social change.
The Clinic works on urgent and under-addressed issues in partnership with advocates and communities. Our practice spans four areas: peace and justice, equality and non-discrimination, climate justice, and rights across borders.
We are a lab for the human rights and conflict resolution fields.
The Clinic is a space for practitioners to connect across geographies and disciplines and reflect on and test innovative and critically-responsive advocacy strategies through joint projects.
The Clinic was a transformative experience—that one quarter impacted me more profoundly as a student, advocate, teammate, and human being than almost any other academic or professional endeavor I have engaged in. It will forever be a notation on the timeline of my life: the person I was before the clinic and the person I emerged as after.
