The Human Rights Lawyers Association is pleased to be partnering with the Bar Human Rights Committee of England and Wales on a virtual seminar event as a follow up to the ‘Human Rights Careers, Skills & Values’ event jointly hosted in November 2023.
Through a half-day programme of intensive but insightful and interactive sessions, ‘Skills for Human Rights Practice’ aims to support the development of confidence, community and competency among junior members of the legal profession, with content specifically designed to help early career practitioners, pupils, trainees and law students skill up in key areas that support advanced, human-centred advocacy approaches to human rights practice. Speakers will be drawn from the Executive Committees and member networks of BHRC and HRLA, as well as valued contacts from the legal profession, from NGOs and higher education.
The half-day seminar will take place on 27 November 2024 (12:00 - 16:00 UK time) and will be open to members of BHRC and HRLA, UK and international law students (including undergraduates and postgraduate / postdoctoral researchers), trainee solicitors, pupil barristers and early- to mid-career solicitors and barristers who are already working in or are interested in moving into human rights practice, or more deeply embedding a rights-based approach within their legal and professional practice in general.
