Summer Human Rights Institute (SHRI)

The Leitner Center for International Law and Justice at Fordham Law School is pleased to announce the 2016 Summer Human Rights Institute (SHRI), a two-week certificate program that will provide a comprehensive introduction to the theory and application of international human rights law, July 18 to 29, 2016.

Designed for students and professionals from around the world, this immersive program enables individuals with limited time to gain an in-depth understanding of international human rights law and practice. Participants take part in daily lectures and workshops with Fordham Law professors, supplemented by fieldwork and discussions with members of New York’s prominent human rights community. The program also includes a field trip to the United Nations.

The Institute is open to students and professionals from around the world with an interest in international human rights law. There are no specific academic requirements to participate in this program. All program courses and activities are conducted in English, but no language assessment or scores are required. Registration is done on a rolling basis and limited to 120 participants.

Located in the heart of Manhattan, the Leitner Center is just steps away from Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Central Park, and the theaters, clubs, museums, shopping, and restaurants that make New York City the nation's cultural capital.

Participants earn a Certificate in International Human Rights Law from the Leitner Center for International Law and Justice at Fordham Law School, New York, NY.

A limited number of spaces are available in on-campus housing, located in the same building in which Institute classes are held. Participants are also free to make their own independent arrangements.
