A big and belated thanks goes out to the 3Ls and 2L who showed up at the Clinical Fair last Wednesday to help us introduce the International Human Rights Clinic to prospective students. We were lucky enough to have a steady stream of 1Ls at our table, and our students engaged them all, offering insight into the clinical experience, and advice on how to get the most out of it.
A special thanks goes to Russell Kornblith, JD ’12, who kept up his enthusiasm through two straight hours of talking. We’re also grateful to Yonina Alexander, JD ’12, Christina Chinloy, JD ’12, Poppy Alexander, JD ’12, Daniel Saver, JD ’12, Clara Long, JD ’12, and James Tager, JD ’13.
We appreciate all you did that night, and all you continue to do to strengthen and improve the Clinic. Pics of yourselves (and two of our clinicians) below!
