Clinical Opportunities:

Center for Applied Legal Studies (CALS)

CALS represents refugees seeking political asylum in the United States because of threatened persecution in their home countries. Students in CALS assume primary responsibility for the representation of these refugees, whose requests for asylum already have been rejected by the U.S. government. Working in pairs, students interview the client; research the human rights record of the country of origin; develop documentary and testimonial records showing that the client either suffered past persecution or will suffer future persecution if forced to return; locate and prepare witnesses; and represent the client at a hearing before a federal immigration judge.

International Women's Human Rights Clinic (IWHRC)

The IWHRC seeks to promote women’s human rights throughout the world. In the IWHRC clinical program, J.D. students work with United Nations organizations and nongovernmental organizations in Africa, Latin America and the Middle East on research for United Nations reports, test cases advancing women’s rights, and proposed national legislation to further those rights. Students in the IWHRC also promote women’s human rights through a research and scholarship program and an education program, both of which seek to raise understanding of women’s human rights in the public forum.

Harrison Institute For Public Law

The Harrison Institute's policy clinic works with legislators, administrators, and nonprofit associations from all around the country. The clinic develops policy proposals and analyzes the role of the non-profit sector and state/local government within the federal system. Projects include: (1) democracy and trade (helping state governments, environmental and consumer organizations cope with the domestic-law impact of WTO agreements, NAFTA and investment treaties); (2) community health services (strategies for nonprofit organizations to provide services to managed care organizations and policy support for community health workers; and (3) land use planning (zoning code revision and policies that deal with urban sprawl).
