Human Rights Law Field Placement – 7622

All students must read the Rules for Supervised Field Placements before registering.

This course allows students to learn about human rights law in practice by working directly with organizations and practitioners in the field. In addition to the supervised placement work, students in this course will meet periodically throughout the semester to share and assess the experience. Prior to enrolling, students should contact the instructor directly to identify a potential host organization that would fit the student’s background and interests.

International Human Rights Law 6886 or International Law 6011/6071 are recommended prerequisites for enrolling in a human rights law field placement.

Students must complete an online application form in order to register for a Topical Field Placement course AFTER obtaining pre-approval from the faculty advisor. The registration form is at this link: Topical Field Placement Form.
