About Us - Overview
The Human Rights Institute serves as the focal point for human rights activities at Georgetown University Law Center, and, in so doing, promotes Georgetown Law’s role as a key actor in the human rights community. The Institute pursues this goal by two primary means: by cultivating Georgetown Law as a leading forum for discussion, debate, and collaboration on human rights issues; and by developing the next generation of human rights lawyers through a robust human rights law curriculum, academic and professional advising, and the facilitation of student involvement in human rights work.
