Mission Statement:

Knowledge in the service of global justice

The Center for Global Justice fosters multidisciplinary research, education, and advocacy about global legal issues, including human rights, dispute resolution, governance, development, security, and the environment. Through colloquiums, conferences, and publications, the Center actively engages with doctrinal and policy dimensions of key questions that confront international legal regimes. By engaging students in a Global Justice Practicum, the Center provides law students with experiential learning necessary to be effective lawyers and leaders for justice.
