On Wednesday, October 24th, HHRILO was fortunate to host Kelly Matheson, from WITNESS .  Ms. Matheson spoke to students and faculty about an emerging field of international law and the use of video and technology to protect and defend human rights and environmental rights.  Her work spans the globe, everywhere from Syria to the Democratic Republic of Congo to Brazil.  Below, Ms. Matheson is pictured (center, with red boots) with some of the students who organized the event.

On Tuesday, October 9th, HHRILO sponsored a Student Summer Jobs Panel.  The panel featured second and third year law students who spent the previous summer doing an internship related to international law.  The students discussed their summer job responsibilities and experiences in detail, as well as discussed how they obtained their respective positions and how they funded their summer opportunities.  Most of all, the panelists underscored the importance of self-advocacy, networking, and initiative in securing summer work in the field of international law. The panelists included:
