CUNY School of Law is a national leader in progressive legal education, being top-ranked for public interest law and for clinical programs. CUNY is also the most diverse law school in the nation and has both a three-year full-time day program and a four-year part-time evening program.

 

CUNY School of Law's mission is two-fold: training public interest attorneys to practice law in the service of human needs, and providing access to the profession for members of historically underrepresented communities. The Law School advances that dual mission through an innovative curriculum bringing together the highest caliber of clinical training with traditional and experiential doctrinal legal education to train lawyers prepared to serve the public interest. The basic premise of the Law School's program is that theory and abstract knowledge cannot be separated from practice, practical skill, professional experience and the social, cultural, and economic context of law. The curriculum, therefore, integrates practical experience, professional responsibility, theoretical perspective, and lawyering skills with doctrinal study at every level. The Law School faculty and administration are committed to providing academic and bar support to all students. They also perform teaching, research, and guidance duties at the CUNY School of Law in their areas of expertise. Responsibilities include supervising students in legal practice or related activities, sharing responsibility for committee and department assignments, and performing administrative, supervisory, and other functions.

 

The primary responsibility of each hire will be to teach law students in the courses and clinics stated above, along with other courses as part of a course package. For candidates in doctrinal areas, they must have backgrounds representing, or scholarship related to, the topics in which they seek to teach. Candidates for faculty positions in Skills and Clinic should be prepared to discuss their scholarly interests. All individuals hired for these positions must address through their teaching an approach that integrates anti-oppression, liberation-oriented pedagogy to develop social justice lawyers capable of defending the lives of historically vulnerable populations, as well as inculcating in students the values of professionalism, civil discourse, strategic and zealous advocacy, and ethics and integrity. In dialogue with the Academic Dean, all faculty at CUNY School of Law are expected to teach other subjects as needed, including required first-year Lawyering Seminars on a rotating basis, and are expected to teach in both the day and evening programs on a rotating basis.

Clinic Description

The Global Rights Innovation Lab Clinic (GRIL) is a new clinic at Berkeley Law that will launch in January 2025. It will work at the intersection of human rights and digital technology to generate compelling, data-driven human rights advocacy through documentation, analysis, and narratives to drive legal advocacy, policy decisions, and social change strategies. Once the mainstay of human rights campaigns, in the new media landscape, traditional human rights fact-finding reports and policy briefs have a limited audience. Utilizing data analysis and visualization tools to uncover patterns of injustice, discrimination, and human rights abuses, and presenting findings in a compelling and accessible manner deepens stakeholder engagement and reaches new audiences. Through its work, the Clinic aims to train the next generation of human rights lawyers to support human rights activists, address systemic drivers of discrimination and marginalization, and promote human rights values and causes by harnessing the power of data and technology to advance innovative legal and advocacy strategies.

The Clinic adopts a problem-based, holistic approach, which recognizes that while traditional legal strategies are vital, these must work in concert with additional interventions to advance social justice including community engagement, data analysis, storytelling, and collaborative partnerships. Working in service of human rights organizations and in compliance with human rights standards, the Clinic is a site of innovation and experimentation. We seek to utilize a variety of digital technologies to create advocacy outputs for our clients and partners that will enhance engagement, decision-making, and audience experience using data visualization, digital storytelling, and/or AI technologies.

Finally, by training graduate students to leverage digital technologies to convey complex relationships between facts and law, enhance audience engagement, enable proactive decision making, or foster empathy and promote awareness of social justice causes, the Clinic creates a pipeline of professionals who are ready on day one to harness the power of digital technologies to advance social justice.
