  • The International Human Rights Clinic at SOAS
    13 The International Human Rights Clinic at SOAS Lynn Welchman INTRODUCTION The Clinic at the SOAS School of Law seems to have been the first international human rights clinic in the UK and has operated since 2007. I modelled it on human rights clinics in the United States, which are plentiful and come in different forms; according to Hurwitz, a human rights clinic is “a law school–based, credit-bearing course or program that combines clinical methodology around skills and values training with live case-project work, all or most of which takes place in the human 1 rights context.” On the “learning-by-doing” principle of clinical legal education (CLE), the SOAS Clinic tries to have students experience, through working on a real brief with real partners from real human rights nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), something of what it is like to do human rights NGO research/advocacy work (including competing demands on their time). In this chapter, I present the experience of the SOAS Clinic as well as the broader CLE context in the UK, which mostly follows different models. The SOAS Clinic is designed to build a skills set in practical legal research and desk-based “fact-finding,” report/brief writing, teamwork, and negotiating and com- munications skills. Through their reflection on their work during and after the process, students are expected to develop a fine-grained appreciation and critique of human rights engagement in matters of social justice and their own potential in that space. Research and advocacy briefs agreed upon with our NGO partners cover areas of international human rights law, international humanitarian law, and inter- national criminal law; most commonly, the focus will be on application and domestic implementation of the same and strategies for seeking correction or redress.
