Humanitarian Law in Practice

Catalog description

This seminar meets for four hours each week during the first half of the spring semester. It is a scenario-driven course that further deepens a student's knowledge, understanding and practical application of international humanitarian and human rights law. Students are required to prepare group presentations on assigned legal topics (Thursdays) and then participate in scenario-based, role-playing exercises that require practical application of the law (Saturdays). The final grade is determined by contributions to and performance during student group presentations on assigned international humanitarian and human rights law topics and role-playing practical exercises.
