Legal Profession
The HRLA ‘s annual Careers Days are organised to bring together researchers, practitioners and campaigners to discuss how different sectors of the human rights legal profession can work together to achieve change.
Through panel discussions and break-out sessions, these events explore how research, legal advice, litigation, advocacy and other techniques can be used to promote human rights at the local, national, regional and international levels.
Speakers and guests also discuss the practicalities of entering the human rights legal profession, and practitioners offer practical tips and insights.
