Student Division Mission Statement

The NYLS Student Division of Lawyers Without Borders seeks to promote the work of its parent organization, Lawyers Without Borders (LWOB), an international human rights NGO that works through networks of pro bono lawyers, non-profits and law students. Our purpose is to assist LWOB with its various world-wide projects and to actively engage in the international human rights movement. With an emphasis on raising awareness in the NYLS community, networking with other human rights groups and linking students to research projects on real human rights issues, the Student Division aims to promote the enforcement of global human rights without regard to geographic and political borders.

To join the Division please either attend a general meeting or contact the section of your interest. If you are interested in viewing our list of projects please select the following link, Projects.
