Welcome 1Ls!  On Saturday, 26 September 2009 HLS Advocates will hold a full day of training for students interested in  working in clinical projects led by the Harvard Human Rights Program.  To participate in the clinical projects, students are required to attend the training.


Register for our training day by sending us an email with your name, contact information and year.


While most of our training participants are 1Ls and LLMs, we welcome any HLS student to join our organization and participate in training.  We will send out a general email on September 25 to confirm your registration.  Students who cannot attend the training are welcome to join Advocates and participate in all other activities throughout the year.   Please contact us with any questions.


Training will be held in Pound Hall at Harvard Law School. See map.


Check back here for more information.  Our full program will be available online. 

Advocates volunteers can chose their preferred level of involvement with our organization. Some students wish to throw themselves directly at a project, dedicating a significant amount of time towards the work. Others might prefer a more limited time commitment. Still others wish only to attend events and the odd meeting. All levels of commitment are welcome.

All students are welcome to participate substantively in clinical projects. However, we do ask for those students who take on roles in a clinical project to commit themselves formally to these tasks, since as a student practice organization we have real responsibilities towards our partners and clients working in the field. HLS Advocates and the Clinical Program of the Human Rights Program will jointly provide expert supervision for all such volunteers.
