Notre Dame Law School announced the establishment of a new Global Human Rights Clinic, launching in the spring of 2024.
The clinic will undertake research and advocacy projects and address cases challenging authoritarianism in the Global South, advocating for individuals who may not typically be represented by other human rights clinics.
"The creation of this new Global Human Rights Clinic is a testament to our unwavering commitment to make a lasting impact. The clinic will actively pursue justice under international law and hold perpetrators accountable while providing crucial support to those striving for justice in their countries,” said Dean G. Marcus Cole.
“As the oldest Catholic law school in the United States, this aligns seamlessly with our mission to train advocates devoted to defending and advancing human rights globally, to champion justice worldwide, and to be a force for good.”
Members of the Order of St. Thomas More provide critical financial assistance for experiential learning opportunities like the Global Human Rights Clinic and ensure that no well-deserving student turns down the opportunity due to financial reasons.
