Penn Law Transnational Clinic

The Transnational Legal Clinic explores the lawyer's work in settings that cut across cultures, borders, languages and legal systems. It provides students with an opportunity to engage in direct legal representation of individual and organizational clients raising a range of international and comparative legal norms in a variety of international and domestic venues. Specifically, students will represent clients in asylum and/or related immigration cases and will also have the opportunity to engage in broader advocacy efforts raising settled and developing international human rights principles. Fieldwork may also include projects in transactional, legislative, or policy settings.
