Activities & Organizations
The Law School supports a thriving community of about 70 student-run organizations, including several that contribute to international law opportunities.
Human Rights Study Project
The project's
mission is to further
the study of law affecting the protection of basic rights
in foreign countries. Each year a project team travels abroad to research human rights issues in a specific country and report their findings. Student teams have traveled to Cuba, Sierra Leone, and Syria and Lebanon, China, India, Uganda, Cambodia and Egypt. Participants are
selected by the prior year's student team based on
applications submitted in the spring. More
