Academics
The Law School offers many courses in international and foreign law.
The Human Rights and International Law Clinic provides students with an opportunity to do real world legal work affecting the development of human rights and international law. The Clinic will be taught by Professor Mark W. Janis and Professor Noah Novogrodsky beginning in Spring 2009. The Clinic will meet as a group with the instructors to learn about human rights and international law advocacy and advising, and concomitant research and writing skills. In teams of two or more, students will be assigned to a specific advocacy or advisory project, which might be, for example, the preparation of an amicus brief for a domestic or international litigation or an advisory memorandum for a domestic governmental, nongovernmental, or international governmental agency or institution.
