Description

The Human Rights Clinic is an experiential learning program in which students gain practical human rights lawyering experience in domestic and international settings, while critically reflecting on the role of law and lawyers in advancing human rights at home and in the Asia Pacific region. Within the Human Rights Clinic, senior UNSW Law students undertake casework and projects in the role of human rights lawyers, under intensive faculty supervision. Projects involve law, clients, partners or rights violations that extend beyond Australia's borders, and focus primarily on advancing the human rights of non-citizens including migrant workers and refugees in Asia and Australia. They typically develop or test new areas of law or policy. The Clinic's partners and institutional clients include community groups and civil society organisations, government ministries, UN bodies, legal service providers, and university legal clinics in Asia and Australia.
