https://at-ceu.studyguide.timeedit.net/modules/LEGS5421?type=COREThis practical course provides students with a supervised, hands-on opportunity to apply human rights theory to real-world advocacy and litigation projects. The course is designed to bridge the gap between doctrinal learning and professional practice by combining conceptual discussions on strategic litigation, clinical legal work, and advocacy methodologies with skills-based workshops and supervised project work.Students will work in small teams on concrete human rights advocacy projects developed in collaboration with external partners. These projects may include drafting legal submissions, amicus curiae briefs, policy-oriented legal analyses, or responses to international human rights mechanisms. Through this work, students will engage directly with the kinds of tasks performed by human rights lawyers and advocates, including legal research, strategic framing, collaborative drafting, and professional communication under time constraints. Given the project-based structure of the course, some sessions will be organized with parallel or rotating project groups, allowing smaller groups of students to focus intensively on specific projects.The course adopts a clinical and experiential learning approach. It includes introductory sessions on strategic litigation and advocacy, a dedicated workshop led by an external practitioner, substantive sessions focused on the legal and political issues underlying the selected projects, early-stage project presentations by students and project-based sessions with partner organizations. Throughout the course, students receive close faculty supervision and structured feedback. It responds directly to student demand for practice-oriented training while maintaining rigorous academic standards and ethical reflection.
