Truth and Reconciliation
On October 24, Professor Lisa Laplante will be a panelist for "Implementing Truth and Reconciliation: Lessons for South Korea" at University at Buffalo Law School where she will share the experience of Peru's reparations program following their truth commission.
Upon graduating from law school, Professor Laplante went on to win a Furman Fellowship at Human Rights First (formerly Lawyers Committee for Human Rights). Soon after, she spent almost six years participating in Peru’s transitional justice experience in various capacities, including as a researcher with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission as a grantee of the Notre Dame University Transitional Justice Program. Her experience as a human rights practitioner includes serving as a legal advisor to victims groups, assisting with litigation before the Inter-American Human Rights System. Additionally, she co-founded the Praxis Institute for Social Justice, where she has served as deputy director.
