About the Leitner Center

FOR INTERNATIONAL LAW AND JUSTICE

One of the oldest and largest law school–based human rights programs, the Leitner Center provides education and training to law students, facilitates capacity building and advocacy with activists and grassroots groups around the world, and contributes to critical research among scholars in international human rights.

From its base at Fordham Law School in New York City, the Center develops long-term partnerships with local social justice organizations and other stakeholders across the globe. Through its pioneering programs, clinics, and education initiatives, the Leitner Center trains students to become international legal experts and impassioned human rights advocates.

“

Our goal is to offer the talents, energy, and brilliance of our students and add our efforts to this cause. The work of this initiative will make indelible impacts at this critical time.
