LAW 962 - Int’l Human Rights Law Clinic

Unit(s): 4 to 6

USF’s innovative Frank C. Newman International Human Rights Clinic focuses on critical human rights issues, including child sentencing, the death penalty and prison conditions, the right to vote, and trafficking of women. Participating students research and prepare presentations for the United Nations Human Rights Council. Many of the students personally present their case to the commission at its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, or in New York City to the Commission on the Status of Women. Students also work on briefs detailing international law standards to U.S. courts and represent individual clients before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
