The Portland Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild and American University College of Law Center for Human Rights and Humanitarian Law present:
Human Rights in the US: Incorporating International Law into Everyday Practice.
Detroit residents are challenging water cut-offs before the United Nations. The Supreme Court cited international law in its decision striking down the death penalty for juveniles. Increasingly, legal aid, public defense, and public interest attorneys have integrated human rights arguments into advocacy before judges and policy-makers, as well as integrating human rights principles into the struggles of the community organizations they represent.
This CLE will provide public interest attorneys with practical strategies, sample arguments, and resources to integrate human rights into daily work at the state and local level in the U.S.
Electronic course materials will be sent via email prior to the CLE.
Speakers include:
Lauren E. Bartlett, Research and Training Director, Center for
Human Rights and Humanitarian Law at American University
Washington College of Law;
Gwynne Skinner, Associate Professor of Law and director of the International Human and Refugee Rights Clinic, Willamette University College of Law; and
Steven Goldberg, National Lawyers Guild Portland Chapter, former chair of National Lawyers Guild International Committee.
This CLE will be held on Friday, December 12, 2014, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, at the Portland Building Auditorium, 1120 SW 5th Ave.
