Description
We are the Durham Student Division of Lawyers Without Borders, contributing through research, fundraising and hosting informative events. Our research initiatives consist of two main branches: Human Rights Updates and White Papers. Our Human Rights Updates are written regularly by students and covering areas of personal interest to them. These updates provide an informative insight into many topical human rights issues that are occurring in our time; often, these are issues which are not receiving coverage through main publication channels. Our White Paper contributions are assignments from Lawyers Without Borders to write for groups such as the UN, or offices of US Congress. We also hold various fundraising events throughout the year (such as pub quizzes) and aim to engage students in critical discussion concerning global, socio-political and legal issues through panel discussions and presentations with leading individuals, organisations and law firms. Previous guests at events have included: Pascale Bird, Karon Monaghan QC, JUSTICE, Reprieve, Ashurst, Clifford Chance and Freshfields.
