INHR Law and Practice: Away Field Placement Seminar is the required course component for all students doing the Spring 2024 INHR Away Field Placement in Geneva, Switzerland where they will each serve as a student legal advisor to a diplomatic mission. In the fall, students are required to attend nine classes held throughout the semester. There will be additional optional classes. Students may not swap optional classes for required classes. Seminar topics will include: Human Rights Council procedures, resolutions, universal periodic review, reports, treaties bodies and an overview of the UN health, labor and humanitarian agencies, along with other relevant topics. The seminar will include lectures, negotiation activities, and presentations. The class presentations will be conducted in conjunction with guest lecturers and other speakers from Geneva and abroad. Students will also be required to work with their future supervisors to draft an agreed statement of work for the away field placement. Students interested in the Spring program are required to enroll in this 1-unit course.
Selection is based on an application and interview process the summer prior to the class. 6-8 students are accepted each year with some students accepted on spec based on availability of a delegation where they could serve in Geneva. If you have any questions about the INHR Field Placement Program, please email fieldplacementprogram@law.berkeley.edu.
There will be 10 required class meetings and the additional dates will be optional.
