Stanford Law School expanded research 
opportunities for students interested in human rights with the launch in April of the Stanford Human Rights Center. Under the direction of James Cavallaro, professor of law and director of the International Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Clinic (IHRCRC) of the Mills Legal Clinic of Stanford Law School, the center will engage students in work to address a range of situations of rights abuse and violent conflict around the world. The center will sponsor lectures, panels, workshops, conferences, and publications on the issues of human rights and global social justice—working closely with IHRCRC, which trains lawyers to work as advocates in the field of human rights and global justice by providing direct representation to victims and by working with communities that have suffered or face potential abuse.
