With authoritarian regimes on the rise around the world, the need to protect basic human rights is more urgent than ever. How can law schools, law students, and law faculties help do this critical work — at home and internationally?
Three Berkeley Law experts join Dean Erwin Chemerinsky for this episode: Chancellor’s Clinical Professor Laurel E. Fletcher, co-director of the school’s International Human Rights Law Clinic and its Miller Institute for Global Challenges and the Law; Eric Stover, faculty director of the Berkeley Human Rights Center; and Professor Saira Mohamed, whose research focuses on criminal law and human rights.

Each episode of More Just starts with a problem, then explores potential solutions, featuring Dean Erwin Chemerinsky as well as other deans, professors, students, and advocates, about how they’re making law schools matter.
