Speakers & Events

The Human Rights Institute hosts a year-long program of speakers and events at Columbia Law School. The Institute invites eminent human rights scholars and practitioners to address current issues of interest in the human rights field. Events range from panel discussions on emerging human rights issues, to more informal, intimate discussions with advocates and academics about the intricacies of practicing human rights law. The events provide a unique opportunity for students to engage directly with leaders in the human rights field. Events are open to law students, faculty, and frequently the greater Columbia University community and general public. Students are invited to share their ideas for events, and the Institute often co-hosts events with student groups.
