Eighth Annual Human Rights Student Paper Symposium
Columbia Law School | Jerome Greene Hall | Rooms 602 & 646

The Annual Columbia Law School Human Rights Student Paper Symposium aims to foster the development of student scholarship and stimulate debate on human rights challenges and opportunities.

This year we will hold our Eighth Annual Human Rights Student Paper Symposium. 

The Symposium is co-organized and presented by the Columbia Law School Human Rights Institute, Human Rights Clinic, Columbia Law School Human Rights Association, Columbia Human Rights Law Review, and the Columbia Journal of Transnational Law. The student authors of papers selected for the Symposium are invited to present their work to a panel of faculty, practitioners, and students for feedback and commentary. Feedback is designed to assist students to further develop their paper for publication. Following student presentations, the floor opens to the audience for continued collaborative discussion.

Join us for a day featuring papers that critically engage with human rights issues and dicussions on their challenges with human rights scholars and practitioners.
