The Allard K. Lowenstein International Human Rights Law Clinic gives students firsthand experience in human rights advocacy. The clinic works with partner organizations to advance human rights globally and within the United States, giving students practical experience in human rights legal strategies while building the knowledge and skills necessary to be effective, ethical social justice advocates.
Several fellowships allow students to dedicate their time to advocacy, human rights work, and scholarship.
