Term: Summer 
Dates: June 7 - 21 (2 Weeks)

Description: Designed to encourage learning about institutions that are adjudicating international human rights issues, this program operates through observation of actual trials, contact with staff and officials of the courts, and lectures to provide the necessary background.

Students spend a week in Strasbourg, where they visit the European Court of Human Rights, the Council of Europe and offices of lawyers and officials of the Court.
The second week is spent in The Hague, where (depending on the docket) students benefit from observing legal proceedings in the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, the International Criminal Court, and, perhaps, the Special Court for Sierra Leone.

Highlights: In both locations, students hear guest lectures from professionals involved in some of the most important human rights cases in recent history. The program is designed to be flexible enough to take advantage of other opportunities in these two cities at the time of the program.
