Justice and Society Program
For 30 years, the Justice & Society Program has worked to promote an understanding of, and adherence to, international human rights. During that time, we have led seminars to educate federal judges on human rights and humanitarian law. The expanded goal of the Justice & Society Program will be to enhance participatory democracy, focus and refine debate on issues that cross-cut law and social policy, and motivate participants to become citizen-advocates for reform in areas of wide societal concern.
